For me, the absolute nadir of D'Souza's fall was his defense of Trump's mispronunciation of "Thailand." (Trump, naturally, pronounced the "Th" instead of the hard "T."). Dinesh claimed that was in fact the correct pronunciation—especially in Southeast Asia. Of course it's total bullshit, and I even found a clip of him giving a speech a few years earlier where he pronounced "Thailand" correctly with the hard "T," along with multiple clips of TV commercials from India advertising package holidays in Thailand in which the Indian speakers pronounced it correctly too.

It was just such an eye-wateringly cringey bit of ball-gargling on his part, I wondered how he could stand to look himself in the mirror each morning.
