Trump calls Melania 'Mercedes' during CPAC speech

The cut before he says “Mercedes that’s pretty good” kinda annoys me. Is there a full uncut version? Honestly it seems like footage manipulation, I’m not really sure that he is talking about Melania in that sentence.
How he stings together sentences, even if the previous one was about his wife, this one could be about cars, and the next one might be about air in potato chip bags.

Unfortunately he is not losing his mind just yet… he is in fact addressing Mercedes Schlapp who is actually in the audience.

I had to look into it because it also seemed to me that these were two unrelated sentences.

He also confused E Jean Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples in 2022.
Hmhmmm... Did he also rape a woman named Mercedes? 🤔
Mercedes Schlapp is a former trump aide whose husband Matt Schlapp was accused of groping a former aide of Herschel Walker. Definitely seems plausible.
Thanks for that horrifying visual. Ugh, I need to go soak my brain in bleach.

Ugh, I need to go soak my brain in bleach.

On second thought, please don’t:

Trump’s bleach press conference happened one year ago today. We’ve never been the same.

It was wild in the moment. In time, it came to symbolize the chaotic nature of the presidency and the early Covid fight.

POLITICO
I remember that press conference. It was so clear that someone had mentioned that bleach and UV are effective virus killers and he just ran with it like a PSA for awareness of Dunning-Krueger.
Accidental Poisonings Increased After President Trump's Disinfectant Comments

Disinfectant poisonings were up as much as 121% in April, when President Trump mused about injecting disinfectants.

Time
Ah, god. That was (is) funny. It shouldn’t be. It’s not really. But I can’t help it. That was so fucking poetic.

The rate of everything goes up and down constantly. I’m reminded of the non-stop “x is down 3% as uncorrelated event takes place” financial articles.

In the case of bleach poisoning, the numbers are low, so going from 1 to 2 poisonings can be a “100% increase”.

From your link:

Critically, association is not causation, and with a frightened public doing whatever it can to protect itself from the virus, the same increases in poisonings might have happened regardless of Trump’s remarks.

That whole thing was so ridiculous, they were talking about what kills the virus on surfaces. There are a lot of things that can sanitize a table or counter but that doesn’t mean they can kill germs in your body without also killing you. Imagine having a sunburn inside your lungs because someone shoved a light down there, that was Trump’s genius solution to the pandemic in that moment.
He’s so narcissistic that he legitimately thought he randomly came up with a cure for COVID on the spot that no one had thought of.
It's like a human centipede of sexual predators.

What a…

Really, there are no words.

Mercedes is a word.
vroom vroom
Nah you’re thinking of his second wife, Mazda Maples
Or his daughter Isuzu.
But kofefae is not
Right, the word you’re looking for is covfefe.
CO~vering~ FE~deral~ FE~lonies.~
I am continually amazed by the USA. How does he get so much support? Why are all your candidates walking corpses? How did it get to this point?
Awful leaders are by no means unique to the USA.
Yeah, but he seems to be not even trying
Billionaires and organised wingnuts love their corrupt puppets and unfortunately most people are very easily led.
We don’t know either

One of the real reasons I want to see regime change in Russia. They’re too good at fucking with us.
There is no word yet. In a couple of decades we will be calling obvious stupid liars a “trump.”
What are the odds that we just learned what he has been calling her at home for years?
at home in bed…
Probably another porn star he cheated on his (then) wife with.
You’re assuming he ever got told their name by the fixer before the poor girl was sent into the room.

As if they couldn’t give them a fake name.

Like a stripper named “Mandy,” you wouldn’t assume that was her real name.

Is his brain even going to last the nine months til the election? It feels like in just a month or two he will have degraded to saying the n-word on stage while talking about how bad he wants to fuck his daughter.
I’m actually not sure that would hurt his chances of winning
Republicans are fine with killing transgenders but saying the n word is might be too much. Not ironical.
You mean, saying it loud.
Outloud in public you mean, theres something weird about ones grandmother calling a small club a n-word beater. Especially since this is the same woman who praised my tolerance for having a trans friend in highschool, but then again shes the one who pointed out to me they were trans. I am dense as a fucking brick.
Corrected. Thanks!

Makes perfect sense.

Trump probably regards her as an acquisition, like a luxury car.

Nah Occam’s razor.

He’s fucking someone named Mercedes.

I’m getting this really disturbing mental picture of someone using spray tan as lube.

Why would you put that into our heads?

You monster.

I’m not sure what’s worse – me putting it into your heads, or Trump putting it on his.
One lobotomy, please.
Slightly better than fucking someone nicknamed BMW. Must be from Cleveland.
Nah Occam’s razor is that he’s senile
He’s almost 80 and hasn’t seen his pecker since the Regan administration. He ain’t fucking at all.
He’s got money and Viagra, two things that will get pretty much anyone laid.
He was fucking someone named Mercedes in 1992 and dementia kicked in
Mercedes could be the name of a stripper.
I mean, he bought her.

Can you imagine the wall to wall coverage had it been Biden who called his wife by the wrong name? It would go on for weeks.

Because it’s Trump they’ll be nary a peep about this from the mainstream media.

Look at that Mercedes wouldn’t be a wrong name, it would be objectification to the point of calling your wife a trophy car, not even a trophy wife… Or maybe I read it differently
