Default More about Yeosemite

Yosumight.

Someone wrote that actually that pronounced name dates back to the early
1940's when the last of the Dixie Class Destroyer Tenders were built.
The last of the 5 ships was the USS Yosemite AD-19. The commissioning
crew used that pronunciation as a joke and it stuck. I myself was
stationed on the USS Dixie AD-14.

So after trump mispronounced it, they probably assigned 3 people to find
some basis for his mistake, and if they came across this, they'd claim
trump had known about it and was honoring the crew of the destroyer for
saying it that way .
