Donald Trump hosted a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, dubbed \u201cA New Golden Age Summit,\u201d handing out awards to his most favored tech oligarchs.<\/p>\n
It was an embarrassing display, with the 80-year-old president giving out medals to people like Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, and Jensen Huang. You may recall that as recently as last year, Musk was rage-tweeting that Trump was in the Epstein files<\/a>. And now he\u2019s getting a medal from the guy.<\/p>\n The president also seemed to be frequently slurring his words Thursday and struggled to speak at times, even mispronouncing Huang\u2019s name in a really awkward way<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Obviously, Trump has a long history of butchering names. Who can forget when he called Apple\u2019s Tim Cook \u201cTim Apple<\/a>\u201d or when he couldn\u2019t pronounce the United States, blurting out United Shtaysh like a drunken sailor?<\/p>\n Trump has also mispronounced Tesla as Tesler<\/a>, Yosemite National Park as \u201cyo semites<\/a>,\u201d and acetaminophen<\/a> in a way that\u2019s difficult to transcribe here. But you can watch it for yourself below.<\/p>\n Lately, during his frequent trips around the country to campaign for Republican candidates who are losing ground ahead of the midterm elections, Trump has been mispronouncing the word vegan as vaygan. But he finally addressed that this week, telling a crowd in Texas that First Lady Melania Trump tried to correct him<\/a>.<\/p>\n The president kept saying the word incorrectly because he was trying to attack James Talarico, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas. Talarico is not a vegan, according to multiple reports<\/a>. The Democrat is currently polling ahead of Republican nominee Ken Paxton.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t get much attention these days, but just about every Trump speech is now filled with bizarre mispronunciations and weird pauses. And when he slurs things, it really makes you wonder what\u2019s going on with his health. As just one example, when Trump struggled to say the word \u201csmoggy\u201d it came out as \u201csmargy<\/a>\u201d on Thursday.<\/p>\n Jensen Huang better hope that Trump doesn\u2019t decide that the president\u2019s preferred name is easier to say. If he does, the Nvidia CEO may find himself needing to legally change his name to Twaaaahng. It\u2019s not like that would be so ridiculous. Huang has already adopted \u201csuper intelligence\u201d over artificial intelligence<\/a>. They all seem to be bending the knee to keep the money spigot flowing.<\/p>\n Ass-kissing oligarchy, if nothing else, is extremely embarrassing to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump hosted a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, dubbed \u201cA New Golden Age Summit,\u201d handing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796525,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,141,7221,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-796524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-donald-trump","tag-jensen-huang","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
