The commander-in-chief evidently thinks you pronounce “corpsman” like “corpse-man”. He must think that, as he mispronounced the word twice. In the same speech. Within the span of a minute.

Video here.

Two possibilities.

One: He honestly doesn’t know how to pronounce the word, in which case he’s not as intellectually powerful as we’ve been lead to believe.

Two: The teleprompter had the word spelled incorrectly, in which case The One just reads what’s on the screen without any additional thought whatsoever. No thinking it through, no making sure it makes sense. Just reading what’s written for him. Like a robot.

Either way, not a promising development. Especially for an individual who’s supposed to be some President-Scholar capable of playing three chess games at once.
