Trump mistakenly calls wildfire-ravaged California town of Paradise 'Pleasure'

'What a name,'US president says before he is corrected.

Donald Trump mistakenly called the wildfire-ravaged town of Paradise, “Pleasure”, as he visited the site of California’s deadliest ever blaze.

Touring the area over the weekend alongside the state’s outgoing and incoming governors, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, the US president twice used the wrong name for the town where most of the 77 people known to have died so far have come from.

“I mean, as big as they look on the tube, you don’t really see what’s going on until you come here. And what we saw at Pleasure, what a name right now, but what we just saw, we just left Pleasure...”

So he isn't even confusing one town for another. He's just confusing a nice-sounding P-word for another.
