I remember all the stories about Bush saying “nuk-u-lar”. Definite proff he was an idiot although it is a common mistake. Jimmy Carter who trained under Rickover pronounced it nuk-ee-er and they claimed he was highly intelligent.Makes you go hmmm

IIRC - and there is SO much I would rather forget about the Carter years - Jimmy also pronounces it “nu-qu-leer”.
