This is an interesting visualization, but I think using a world map to display this is a bit misleading. This sort of implies that it would be normal to talk about each country proportionately to its geographic size. Mongolia is a vast country, but I wouldn't expect to hear the POTUS talk much about it. I wouldn't expect a country's geographic size to be proportional to its importance in U.S. politics, so I don't think that's the best comparison to make.

How many times did he mention Antarctica that it shows up as a country more than all the nations in South America?

I'm curious how this would map out for the last 5 US Presidents vs other world leaders.
Really neat visual.
