Donald Trump mispronounces 'Yosemite' at White House event

President Donald Trump turned heads on Tuesday when he mispronounced the word "Yosemite" at a White House event to sign a bipartisan conservation bill.

"When young Americans experience the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon, when their eyes widen in amazement as Old Faithful bursts into the sky, when they gaze upon Yosemite's — Yosemite's towering sequoias, their love of country grows stronger and they know that every American has truly a duty to preserve this wondrous inheritance," Trump said.

But he stumbled over Yoh-sem-it-ee, pronouncing it YO-se-MIGHT, and then adding a syllable, "YO-se-min-NIGHT."

The official White House transcript released after the event notes the error with the misspelling, "Yoseminite’s [sic]."

It’s where are the camels and the elephants live.

Cuckoo for Coco Puffs.

5. This part of his appeal to the far right base...

Despite his supposed education and genius, he is really just as ill-educated, purposely ignorant, and incurious as they are.

6. He's told us he has one of the greatest brains in the world

He never said whose brain it is
and if he keeps it in a jar.

8. Mispronouncing Something is Not the Worst Part of This

What is the worst part is that this demonstrates, yet again, that Trump doesn't even glance at these speeches before he starts reading in monotone from the Teleprompter. Ever. And I wonder if his staff doctored the transcript to make it look like the error was on their part, not his.

and brag about how he dodged the draft, because he is a stable genius.
