President Donald Trump will regularly be on headlines for some or other reason, but this time definitely for a good one. In direct contrast to his prior claims that one his two sterling assets are “being, like, really smart”, Trump during a White House meeting with intelligence official mispronounced Bhutan and Nepal as “Button and Nipple.”
A foreign magazine correspondent wrote about the episode in extraordinary detail in a piece:
"...In another briefing on South Asia, Trump’s advisors brought a map of the region from Afghanistan to Bangladesh, according to intelligence officers with knowledge of the meeting and congressional officials who were briefed on it. Trump, they said, pointed at the map and said he knew that Nepal was part of India, only to be told that it is an independent nation. When said he was familiar with Bhutan and knew it, too, was part of India, his briefers told him that Bhutan was an independent kingdom."
President Trump often tweets misspellings that are considered to be frequent mistakes for English speakers. These are in most cases phonic misspellings, like using an "e" in "separation" rather than an "a," or spelling "honour" with the wrong vowel.
On the other hand, Donald Trump delivered the State of the Union address in the United States Congress on Wednesday - the national legislature. He spoke about the U.S.-Mexico border and foreign policy.
Moreover, Trump said he will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam, which will be the second meet between the the leaders.
