Trump mocked for mispronouncing Tanzania

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was widely mocked on social media Wednesday for mispronouncing Tanzania in a major foreign policy speech he delivered.

{mosads}White House press secretary Josh Earnest also made a crack about Trump’s misstep during a press briefing Wednesday. “Apparently, the phonetics are not included on the teleprompter,” Earnest joked.
