WATCH: Trump mispronounces Yosemite National Park as 'yo-Semite' in White House speech
President Donald Trump apparently doesn't know how to pronounce the name of one of America's most famous national parks.
During a speech following after signing the bipartisan"Great American Outdoors Act" at the White House on Tuesday, Trump twice pronounced Yosemite as"yo-Semite." "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 Yosemites, Yosemites, towering sequoias, their love of country grows stronger and they know that every American has truly a duty to preserve this wonderous inheritance," Trump said.
Yosemite is one of the country's most visited tourist destinations — 4.5 million people traveled to the park in 2019, according to the National Park Service. Trump's critics quickly ridiculed the president's mispronunciation. A Democratic National Committee twitter account shared a video clip of the moment, commenting,"tfw you're the president and don't know how to pronounce"Yosemite.
Trump and his allies have repeatedly attacked Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, for misspeaking in various contexts. They've used those attacks to bolster a broader argument that Biden is mentally deficient and unfit to serve as president. Trump has nicknamed him"Sleepy Joe."
