Felon Says Trump Pronounced “Thighland” Correctly

August 7, 2020 Idiocracy, Trump cultists

Surely you little people should know by know that Glorious Leader never makes mistakes. Off with your heads!

Mediaite reports:

Conservative author and pardoned felon Dinesh D’Souza mounted a lengthy defense of President Donald Trump’s “Thighland” moment in a lengthy series of tweets that suggested Trump’s pronunciation of Thailand was correct.

Trump set the internet ablaze when he referenced “Thighland” during a speech on Thursday, but he had a staunch defender in D’Souza, who mounted an hours-long campaign to turn the gaffe upside down — despite the fact that even Trump corrected himself shortly after he misspoke.

This is actually the correct pronunciation. Most Americans say it wrong. Thailand is pronounced phonetically. It’s “Thighland,” not “Tai-land.” https://t.co/kiQI7FveEM

I grew up in India and learned British English and everyone schooled by the people who actually invented the English language says “Thighland,” which happens also to be the actual spelling of the word (Thai, not Tai)

I’m really enjoying the “Thighland” controversy I seem to have kicked off. Outside of America, every English speaking country, starting with the one that invented the language, pronounces it the way Trump did. “Tai-land” is for frontier people who like to simplify pronunciations

In England, Australia and India it is pronounced “Thighland” and guess who invented the English language?

Let me clarify. I’m not saying “Thighland” is how it is said in the Thai language. The French say “Paree” but that’s not how it is pronounced in English. “Thighland,” not “Tai-land,” is how English speakers around the world say it

I’m talking about how it is pronounced in English, not Thai. Most English-speaking people around the world say “Thighland”
