No, it doesn’t make sense because America is a continent. And when you call people from the USA ‘Americans’ it’s really confusing because everyone in the American country is American. In fact, this is a form of USA-centrism. In Spanish, we do not call them ‘Americans’ but rather ‘estadounidenses’ or ‘yanquis’ or ‘gringos’ (those two are despective), or even ‘norteamericanos’ (which also actually includes Canada).

I’m not saying it’s correct, I was just illustrating that there is a logic to it. So it can still make sense, even if it’s not the correct usage.
