Not done for now: Donald Trump is president-elect meaning he is not the president yet. He will be inaugurated in January. TheWikiToby (talk) 18:32, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
- I mean to recall that a country's infobox has been mentioning president-elects as well. Can't the president-elect and the VP-elect be added per the template? 2001:4BC9:82B:B621:A052:1F92:3392:5618 (talk) 08:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Important discussion
Given that the right to political satire isn't protected as it's in Italy (Maurizio Crozza: an example of strong political satire), are we sure that the United States is the "strongest protections of free speech of any country"? Certainly it's one of the strongest, but are we sure it's the strongest? JacktheBrown (talk) 16:10, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- Jack, please refrain in your copyedits from editorializing on what the sources say if you're not going to check what they say. I personally don't find this distinction illuminating or this characterization of the US compelling, but just make sure you don't change the meaning of sourced prose in your copyedits. Remsense ‥ 论 16:12, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Remsense: "I personally don't find this distinction illuminating or this characterization of the US compelling...". It should be changed, it's too vague; I've the impression that this will never be done. JacktheBrown (talk) 23:12, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Remsense: you're right, I just wanted to start this discussion. JacktheBrown (talk) 16:19, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @JacktheBrown: Satire is vigorously protected speech in the United States. If it is more protected in Italy, it isn't in some other European countries, where one can be pursued for defamation. That would be difficult in the U.S.—except in the case of copyright infringement or stealing content from others with the aim of satire. The political satire you refer to, vicious parody (used in American political cartoons since the early 19th century), falls under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court confirmed it in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell (1988). See https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/satire/. Mason.Jones (talk) 16:41, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Mason.Jones: thank you, I will read this very carefully: https://firstamendment.mtsu.edu/article/satire/. JacktheBrown (talk) 17:00, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Third largest country by land area
It surprised me to see that the source to that statement actually doesn't back that up, in fact it explicitly states something else?
As far as i understand it, the US has larger water area, but both on land and overall area China is larger, making the US the 4th largest not the third. Therefore how is it that the article is stating this exactly? I'm a bit confused Ultrajante (talk) 03:10, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Few ways to calculate this Britannica has the most common usage ...Forbes shows the other one . See List of countries and dependencies by area for more information. Moxy🍁 03:23, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
