Original Note:
A portion of that speech went viral, because it was interpreted as evidence of Trump referring to his wife Melania as "Mercedes." These claims are false, because they omit obvious context indicating that the former president was referring to a Mercedes Schlapp. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mercedes-melania-trump/
