A Thai newspaper has changed its name following a speech President Trump made in Ohio on Thursday in which he mispronounced the country’s name as “Thighland.”

Speaking at a Whirlpool Factory, Trump complained about foreign competitors moving their factories to prevent a level playing field and to avoid liability.

“Shifting production to Thighland, and to Vietnam – ‘ Trump then repeated himself to correct the pronunciation of Thailand, adding: “Two places that – I like their leaders very much – do they take advantage of the United States? Not so much anymore.”

Trump was mocked widely online for this and the Thai Enquirer poked fun at the President by changing its Twitter handle to the “Thigh Enquirer.”
