The name Yosemite is difficult to pronounce if you are not familiar with the park. But based on how President Trump pronounced Yosemite, it’s unclear if he has ever even heard of the National Park.
According to PBS, the name Yosemite was given to the valley by a young doctor named Lafayette Bunnell. He named the area “Yosemite,” mistakenly believing it to be the name of the tribe living there.
