Former president Donald Trump called Melania ‘Mercedes’ as he praised his wife during a speech in Washington DC. The crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gave the former First Lady a standing ovation as Mr Trump described how “people love her”. “Oh look at that Mercedes, that’s pretty good” he said as the audience stood and applauded. The GOP presidential hopeful was making the keynote speech on 24 February on the same day as voters head to the polls in the South Carolina primary.

    I mean, it doesn’t make it better, but he got confused because he was talking about Mercedes Schlapp earlier.

      This context is pretty important. I’m in my 20s and my brain would do this too

        It literally cuts audio from earlier in his speech when he’s talking to and about Mercedes Schlapp and then cuts to him talking about his wife. This is just stupid. You can literally hear the audio quality difference.
