Trump tours wildfire-ravaged California town of Paradise and mistakenly calls it 'Pleasure', twice

The president reportedly fumbled with the name of the fire-ravaged town twice while making a statement on the devastation caused by the wildfire.
UPDATED NOV 19, 2018

President Donald Trump was slammed on social media over the weekend after he wrongly labeled the California wildfire-hit town Paradise and called it "Pleasure" during a press conference. Trump made the remarks while visiting the mountain town, which has been nearly wiped off the map by the state's deadliest wildfire on record. Reports state that there are nearly 1,276 people from the town have been reported missing and 76 have been confirmed dead. 

The president reportedly fumbled with the name of the fire-ravaged town twice while making a statement and said: "What we saw at Pleasure … what a name, right now," Trump said referring to the Northern California region, which is called Paradise. "What we saw. We just left Pleasure …" Trump said before multiple people around him corrected the Republican.
