The "t" sound, like many other consonents, is hard to say by itself without some small sound following - a small aspiration ("tuh") for example. In the case of "temp" (short for "temporary"), the "e" gives the sound and the "t" is easy to pronounce. However, if you were saying the phrase "current emperor", you can see that the "temp" sound is still there, but separated into two words. To separate the words correctly, you might have to say something like "curren[tuh] emperor", which sounds clumsy. To speak faster, it is much easier in normal oral speaking to shift the "t" to the next word. What you would normally hear is "curren temperor". The Chinese avoid ending words or syllables with sounds like "t" or "b". That's why my first name is normally pronounces "fuh ran ke" by Chinese and Koreans.
