Malcolm Trumble isn't alone: Sean Spicer just got the Canadian PM's name wrong too

First it was Prime Minister Malcom Trumble, now it’s the Canadian Prime Minister’s turn to have his name fumbled by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. 

In his daily press briefing, Mr Spicer referred to his prepared notes to recap President Donald Trump’s first meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau yesterday, except tripping up and calling him ‘Joe’.

“The President had an incredibly productive set of meetings and discussions with Prime Minister Joe Trudeau of Canada, focusing on our shared commitment to close cooperation in addressing both the challenges facing our two countries and the problems facing the world,” he said.

Earlier this month, Mr Spicer was lampooned for mispronouncing Malcolm Turnbull’s surname as “Trumble”.

In the same briefing, he told reporters Mr Trump was “unbelievably disappointed” about the “horrible” refugee swap deal struck under the Obama administration.

As is so often the case, social media users were quick to pick up on Mr Spicer’s slip of the tongue.
