Why do United States citizens not know the name of their president?

We know but, due to the shame and humiliation of having a mentally ill moron and criminal with several severe personality disorders currently disgracing the White House and our country on an hourly basis, most of us are subconsciously trying to block it out.

Lazy to Google it and lazy to watch the TV news - that's the problem of "some" sure Americans who are lazy.

Lazy 😵

I can't imagine anyone genuinely not knowing.

They do not teach civics in school these days.

It's sad and common in UK, Canada, Australia, Europe : we are just not teaching the civilians of today what they ought to know how their government structure is, how voting works, who's the head of state / head of government. 🫠

Hopefully someday the education system reforms the curriculum to include it as a mandatory subject like Maths like English
