return2ozmaDonald Trump calls wife Melania ‘Mercedes’ in CPAC speech
slappyHe also confused E Jean Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples in 2022.
donutsHmhmmm... 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.

On second thought, please don’t:
Trump’s bleach press conference happened one year ago today. We’ve never been the same.
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.
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.
helenslunchThe 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.
