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
