It's "God Bless AMERICA"
America is a country; the "United States of America" are a government, and the two are not the same, and the government is actually responsible for much evil, possibly even this assassination attempt.

America is a continent.
I thought about using that term at first, but America is a actually two continents, North and South.
If you're going to sour someone's good intentions, the least you could do is be accurate. There is no country name "America".
Even The Articles of Confederation uses "United States of America", and that was before it incorporated.
If you want to piss off the rah rah crowd and get technical, it's a federation of states (the states are the countries) 😂
It's not a unitary state. (Country)
Right, which is why I wrote "the United States ARE a government"
Did you never hear George W. Bush refer to the United State? 😄
Would "nation" have been a better word?
And I didn't intend to sour someone's post, although I see how it can be taken that way.
