President Trump's mispronunciation of the word Yosemite earned the National Museum of American Jewish History nearly $30,000 in sales of its "Yo Semite" t-shirt.

On Tuesday, the president struggled when describing the giant sequoia trees at Yosemite National Park, pronouncing the name as "yo-Semite," which prompted numerous amused reactions from users on social media.

The slip-up went viral causing a surge in sales of a camping t-shirt sold by the National Museum of American Jewish History, so much so that the shop's website crashed due to a spike in traffic.

The shirt has been on sale since 2011 and reportedly only sold around 100 annually. Now, the museum reports nearly 1,500 of the shirts have sold in the last three days.
