Trump mispronounced Thailand as 'Thighland' and the puns ran wild

Earlier this week Trump referred to Yosemite National Park as 'Yo-Semite.'

Trump's latest gaffe is ripe for puns.

During a campaign event in Ohio on Thursday, the president mispronounced Thailand as "Thigh-land."

"Shifting production to Thigh-land," Trump said during the speech, before correcting himself. "Thailand and Vietnam, two places that... I like their leaders very much."

It was only a matter of time before Twitter users began churning anatomical puns.

It's not the first time Trump has mispronounced a location. Earlier this week, the president referred to Yosemite National Park, pronounced "Yoh-sem-it-ees," as "Yo-semites." He stumbled over the word again and added another syllable, pronouncing it as "Yo-sem-in-ites."

Twitter users joked about the two gaffes.
