Original Note:
The claim that Trump confused the name of his wife is false and has been debunked by numerous sources. Trump was referring to Mercedes Schlapp, his former White House director of strategic communications, and wife of CPAC organizer Matt Schlapp. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2024/feb/28/facebook-posts/no-donald-trump-did-not-call-his-wife-mercedes-ins/ https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-joe-biden-says-donald-trump-forgot-melania-name-1874395 https://trendydigests.com/2024/02/26/trumps-cpac-mercedes-comment-a-misunderstanding-with-mercedes-schlapp-not-melania/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/27/us/politics/biden-seth-meyers.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
