Trump can’t pronounce ‘Beyoncé’, and the internet’s having a field day

Last weekend, Hillary played her trump card by getting Beyoncé and Jay-Z out on stage at a rally, to pledge their voting allegiance to her and encourage their legion of fans to follow suit.

It was a pretty impressive coup for the Democratic candidate, and her rival Donald Trump reacted just as we would have expected: he pretended not to care.

In fact, addressing a crowd in North Carolina, Trump claimed that he doesn’t need the big guns to win this election – he’s already packing.

Unfortunately for Trump though, in his speech condemning Hils, he made one whopper slip-up: he pronounced Queen Beyoncé’s name WRONG.

For real? YES!

For those of us chilling over here in the Bey-hive, the inflection over the ‘e’ in Beyoncé comes as naturally to us as our ABCs, but it seems Trump needs a few lessons in pronunciation.

So, despite the fact that Trump INSISTED that he ‘really likes’ Bey and Jay, we’d like to see that claim backed-up with photographic evidence from his CD collection.

It's not the only reason #WereWithHer -but the fact that #Trump can't pronounce Beyonce's name is definitely a factor. #PresidentialElection

No matter what the result of the election may be, this amounts to one mortifying fail.
