Op-Ed: Is ‘Yo-semite’ close to Thighland? — Only in Trump’s world

In all fairness, Trump quickly corrected himself, but the gaffe quickly began trending on Twitter, according to Mashable.


“Once more, your foreign competitors moved their factories to prevent a level playing field and to avoid liability,” Trump said to Whirlpool employees. “Shifting production to Thighland and to Vietnam. Thailand and Vietnam. Two places, I like their leaders very much, they’re very nice to us. Do they take advantage of the United States? Not so much anymore.”

Of course, last night’s verbal goof was not the first time Trump has messed up the name of a location. Earlier this week, the president referred to Yosemite National Park, pronounced “Yoh-sem-it-ee,” as “Yo-semites.” He stumbled over the word again and added another syllable, pronouncing it as “Yo-sem-in-ites.”


Seeing as Trump has been bragging about acing his cognitive test, he should be very thankful it did not include any geographical locations. He would have flunked it, for sure.

Twitter users had a lot of fun with “thigh” puns.


Adam Beal actually made an astute observation when he Tweeted: “The GOP keeps trying to attack Biden’s mental fitness, but that strategy doesn’t really make much sense when every day Trump’s brain implodes and he says something shockingly stupid like “Thighland” or “Yo, Semite.””

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our dear friend Karen Graham, who served as Editor-at-Large at Digital Journal. She was 78 years old. Karen's view of what is happening in our world was colored by her love of history and how the past influences events taking place today. Her belief in humankind's part in the care of the planet and our environment has led her to focus on the need for action in dealing with climate change. It was said by Geoffrey C. Ward, "Journalism is merely history's first draft." Everyone who writes about what is happening today is indeed, writing a small part of our history.
