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.
