How Do You Pronounce Nevada? Don’t Ask Donald Trump
Donald Trump tried to give the people of Reno, Nevada a lesson on how to pronounce the name of their own state. Unfortunately, he couldn’t pronounce it correctly himself. He even claimed (hopefully sarcastically), that a friend was “killed” for pronouncing it wrong.
Nevada senator Harry Reid was quick to correct Trump:
For the record, most residents pronounce it Nev-add-a, not Nev-ah-da.Trump told us we pronounce our state wrong; then he refused to take stance on Yucca.

It's pronounced Nev-AD-a and Yucca Mountain is dead.
