So, yet again we have Leftists thinking Trump is "stupid" when it's actually THEM who are stupid, and worse are yet again malicious against Trump.
Trump initially said "Thigh" instead of "Tie" when saying the word Thailand. In the next couple of words he DID correct it, using the common English pronunciation of "Tie", but there is one big problem with the Left's criticism of Trump here.
You see, people around the world, including 1 BILLION people in South East Asia, ALL pronounce it "THIGH", not "Tie". Tie is the Englishized way of saying it. Thus, yet again Leftists are ignorant and liars all because of their zeal and hate of Trump.
Trump has traveled a lot, and thus how other people speak is also in his head. Hence, he can't be faulted for saying words sometimes the way that other people say them...

Not 'Thigh-land': Thais amused at Trump's slip

Reuters World News
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Citizens of Thailand were surprised and bemused on Friday to discover their country’s name had become a social media meme after U.S. President Donald Trump mispronounced it.
...Rikker Dockum, a professor of linguistics at Swarthmore College, told Reuters that Trump’s second pronunciation - with an aspirated hard “t” instead of a soft “th” sound - is the widely used one in both Thai and English.
“Among English speakers around the world, this is not a disputed pronunciation,” he added.

Only an idiot would defend Trump.
Thighland... almost as good as Breastland.

I really, really wish the latter was a real place. I know where I'd book my next vacation.

Not sure if it is, but I read that Thigh-land is “located on a cartographic leg between “Kneepal” and “Ankola”.“

Dude, you don't know about Breastland?! OMG, you're going to love it. All you need to know is its more common name:
The Real Housewives of __________.
Those shows have more cleavage than a slasher movie.

Well that's strange. I'd expect "Shin-hi" there, close to "South Calfrica."
Wouldn't Thighland be north of Kneepal and south of Assganistan?
