This is an article about two presidents of the United States.

Yes, but the guy being quoted, for all his faults, has done more travelling than the average person, and clearly has picked up some phrases that are more common elsewhere. Not that that really matters, since referring to a flag pole as a mast is still considered acceptable by every dictionary I bothered to check, even the American ones (which I noted in the edit to my previous post).
