How Trump pronounced “America” at his rally was very un-Amaaairrrriguhn
Trump‘s final rally as President of the USA took place in Georgia on Monday night, where he made an appearance to promote the Republican candidates for the crucial runoff, which will determine who controls the Senate.
It wasn’t a roaring success, to objective observers.
He continued to peddle baseless claims of electoral fraud.

He got one candidate’s name wrong, calling her everybody’s favourite comedy name – Karen.
Trump calling Kelly Loeffler “Karen” is everything!

All the more awkward since Kelly Loeffler is the sitting Republican Senator for Georgia.
He also managed to mispronounce a word you’d expect to be unmispronouncable to a US president – ‘America’.

T.J. Chambers touted this possible explanation.
Feels like he was gonna go for an Arnold impression and then realized he didn’t have that club in the bag and just sorta bailed out? https://t.co/UPPI3zCGY2

And on the topic of those muscles …
"Look at that arm!" It can't lift a small glass of water without help from the other arm, but okay. https://t.co/ZCBhVE1y8a

We’ve been asking ourselves that for the last four years.
