2. And he's exactly wrong.

In Thailand they say "tie", not "thigh".

[FoxNewsSucks]

3. "surprised they have wifi this far up Trump's colon"

[Budi]

4. IKR..🤣

dumbass

[Midnight Writer]

5. Bizarre.

This reminds me of the RW's defense of Trump calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas".

They claimed that Pocahontas, as a historical figure, was a good and noble personage.

Therefore, calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" is actually a compliment.

In other words, Trump was clearly paying Warren a compliment and no one has the right to be offended by it, unless you are a sniffling snowflake.

What's scary is Dinesh D'Souza is considered an intellectual in the Conservative Movement.

6. Would someone with a twitter account please ask him how "english speakers around the world"

pronounce Yosemite?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

7. This bag of shit is right up there with Carlson and Kushner competing for the most puncheable face.

[Beaverhausen]

8. are languages invented?

[Iggo]

33. Yep. By children.

[lunatica]

9. I guess I must be one of those "illiterate" college grads

who doesn’t know as much as Trump. There are so many of us!

[marybourg]

10. Guess who invented the name Tie-land.

[mr_lebowski]

11. The IQ45 cult are so freaking pathetic I swear to Dog (nt)

[Ohio Joe]

12. It's really pretty amazing...

The marks will twist themselves into the strangest knots to make it seem Trumps fuck ups are really not fuck ups. Just weird.

[Bev54]

13. I have not met one english speaking person

who pronounces Thailand as thighland, any of you?

[House of Roberts]

14. People from other countries, Dinesh.

English is a West Germanic language that originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain in the mid 5th to 7th centuries AD by Anglo-Saxon migrants from what is now northwest Germany, southern Denmark and the Netherlands.

[JI7]

15. People in India do not say Thighland. They would pronounce Thigh like Tie

becsuse of the accents.

So pronouncing Thailand as it should be is actually easier for them than if it was pronounced like thigh.

[grantcart]

16. ประเทศไทยคุณงี่เง่า

Its an aspirated "T"

Thai
Town
Teacher

and not un aspirated "T" as in

Cut
Cat
Curt

There is no such TH diphthong sound in the Thai language.

Trump even admitted his error when he pronounced it correctly a second latter

[PatSeg]

17. Since when is Trump considered an "English speaker"?

[malaise]

18. That is not true

The H is silent

[KG]

19. imagine a world without dinesh dsouza

[Paladin]

20. More blatant, gratuitous stupidity from D'Souza.

Pronounced "D'Suckhole" in my house......

[malaise]

38. Anderson Cooper showed a clip with D'Souza pronouncing it correctly

It was hilarious

[Blue Owl]

21. Hey Duh'nish -- how do they pronounce "Yosemite" in England, Australia, and India?

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. People in England, or anywhere in the UK, only use a hard 't'

https://www.lexico.com/definition/thailand

So much for his "who invented the English language" BS.

[lame54]

23. But Trump doesn't speak either

[GoCubsGo]

24. Convicted felon says what?

Has this shitstain been deported back to India yet? If not, why not?

[SoCalNative]

26. Um....

I worked with a woman from Thailand. She never pronounced it like that. Also never heard any of my friends in many countries the world over pronounce it like that.

[Luz]

27. Expect trumpsters to start pronouncing it that way. We shall

know them by their idiocy.

[GeorgiaPeanut]

28. Go ahead cons - make my day. Keep this in the news.

[doc03]

29. Shouldn't he be coming out with a Republican propaganda movie

soon, he always does?

[abqtommy]

30. I have it on good authority that English-speakers around the world pronounce

Dinesh as "Dipshit"...

[Danmel]

31. When I order Thigh food, it's usually a hot fudge sundae

When I order Thai food, it's usually green coconut curry chicken, larb and pad thai.

[canetoad]

34. Hey Dinesh

STFU about how it's pronounced in Australia.

Love the kookas!

[PCIntern]

35. He has a point because

Where I come from they pronounce “Dinesh” as “Fuck-wad”.
