Donald Trump mispronouncing things isn't anything new but rarely does he make such a mistake that a newspaper decides to change their name just to mock him.
While speaking to a small number of followers in Ohio on Thursday, Trump bemoaned that parts of US manufacturing had been moved to countries like Vietnam and Thailand, except he didn't say Thailand at all but 'Thighland.'
Although Trump would correct himself just moments later, the damage had already been done and social media was soon awash with people mocking him (and a few going out of their way to defend him).
Meanwhile, in Thailand, the news of Trump's mishap has been greeted with further mockery and ridicule as the Thai Enquirer has changed their name on Twitter to "Thigh Enquirer" (which sounds like a joke job from The Simpsons, like 'The Wallet Inspector')

"Thigh Enquirer" has even put together a neat video, explaining why Trump was wrong and also debunking his supporters who said he was correct, as well as criticising Trump for praising their controversial leader.
We made a short explainer video of how Thais see #Thighland-gate and how the mispronunciation by Trump wasn't the w… https://t.co/gGQzVtW32Y— Thai Enquirer (@Thai Enquirer) 1596784079
They weren't pulling any punches with Dinesh D'Souza either, the Trump supporter who said that 'Thigh Land' was the correct pronunciation.
Yeah. No. But lol. Thanks for playing. 😅😅😁😆 https://t.co/V1jvuuBmp8— Thai Enquirer (@Thai Enquirer) 1596766767
O.o I guess our input doesn't really matter if all the South Asians call us Thighland, we must be #Thighland https://t.co/uT3o5YVLtJ— Thai Enquirer (@Thai Enquirer) 1596780915
All in all, people are loving the temporary name change and the paper is taking it all in its stride.
I’m actually screaming. The folks at @ThaiEnquirer really have a good sense of humor and I love them. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/BTa2KB0JYT— Galactic Anne-archy (@Galactic Anne-archy) 1596767342

Just when you thought the you'd seen the best trolling of Trump possible, Thailand steps up to the plate and knocks it out of the park.
