It's ironic that he's been selling off national parks land to various companies for oil and gas drilling/grazing etc. He reduced Bears Ears National Monument established by President Obama. So much for Trump's duty to preserve the inheritance!!!

That was something else. I mean, even if he’s ignorant enough to have never heard of Yosemite or seen it spelled, which I suppose is entirely possible. Sure he’s heard of Yosemite Sam, even in childhood?

Admittedly, I learned to spell it by saying "Yo-sem-ite" in my head, but I also learned to say "ve-get-ables" as well, and mispronounce neither.

Yeah, whoever wrote that speech could have easily chosen a National park with an easier name to say for the Idiot in Chief. Maybe "Death Valley," or "Big Bend." You know, easy reader words.

I was surprised he didn’t struggle with sequoia. they probably spelled it phonetically for him: "se-koy-ah"

The James Cordon show had a very funny bit a few months back. It was the speech writer in the back room, following along on the speech as DT was giving it. The writer was yelling at the monitor< "Stay on script! We talked about this! Remember the pronunciation!" etc. and finally just crumples the paper and gives up. Here it is youtu.be/5ZuIN2Hx-gY

Just to add fuel to the fire, today Trump mispronounced Thailand as Thigh-land in a speech. For the record, I used to attend a Messianic Jewish congregation. Does this mean I get to visit Yosemite on a discount pass?
