The weird thing to me is that he knew how to pronounce it correctly. That would have taken some work to get him to know it, although I suppose he has a head start because he wouldn’t be confused by the spelling (as he doesn’t seem able to read). So some time and effort was spent on knowing how to pronounce the country’s name, but “nobody knows” was his take-away.

Or a sop to his culties. I think he often says things he knows are bullshit, sometimes to signal that he’s trolling the libs, and maybe sometimes to troll MAGAts instead in a way, since he knows they believe every batshit claim he makes.

Peters, who is also deputy prime minister, told reporters that he had made the decision to sack Phil Goff without first consulting Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
When it was pointed out that Luxon was the leader of New Zealand, Peters responded: “I know he’s the prime minister, I made him the prime minister.”
He seems nice.

I did not listen to the speech, but I will bet he mis-pronounced the name.

Do not lose your temper. Even if he calls you a dictator or accuses you of screwing America, smile and remember he’ll have forgotten by bedtime that he ever said it. “Did I say that?” he’ll smirk like a 79-year-old toddler trying to look adorable.
Do not call him a kleptomaniac, a sexual reprobate, a jingoistic plunderer, a mendacious megalomaniac, a sociopathic rabble-rouser, a convicted felon or a Kremlin marionette. He does not do polysyllables. Stick to “bad”, “mad”, “sad”, “ugly” and “dog” when discussing his enemies and “great”, “best by far”, “king” and “big love” when discussing him. “Bigly” is permissible in a crisis.
Teach him a couple of Irish phrases he might find helpful. “Póg mo thón,” for JD Vance when the Veep’s obsequiousness proves unsatisfactory. “Póg it some more”. When he is addressing Congress or the media or, really, anytime he opens his mouth to speak he could say: “Tá mé ag insint bréaga,” because, as you know, Taoiseach, that does not mean he’s telling lies.
Do not ask him if his “beautiful wife” lives in the White House too.

Maybe he only ever heard Lesotho spoken? By people who pronounced it correctly. He probably has never seen the name in print and couldn’t spell it.
