It was outstanding.
I cringed at the Tan-ZANY-ah comment. I said (into the air), “They’re gonna be on his ass for that one.” My wife said to me, “Ah, you’re just a geography teacher; no one else cares. Anyway, the bar is set very low for Trump on matters like this; so no worries.”
Of course, the media went daft over it; but that’s just a day or two’s worth of nit-picking, much like the Two Corinthians deal; plus someone will probably find a tribe near Lake Tanganyika that DOES pronounce it Tan-ZANY-ah, and he will get to do a dance over it.

If it is any comfort, he says "Tanzania" pretty much the way I would say it, taking into account the difference between a NY accent and my hybrid CA/MD accent.
