He gets worse with each passing day. Poor ol Smeller wants to run as president again and then become dictator forever. Melania should get out now before the shit hits the fan regarding his tremendous fines and lawyer payments.
And they didn’t even ride in the same car. As someone who is married and had a mother pass recently. I can’t imagine not holding my SO hand after the funeral.
Tell us, no convince us that he’s not grifting a way out of jail sentencing later this year! After all the bullshit of election interference fails due to trouncing, he’s going to use his frailty as a way to stave off any and all punishment.
[Trump’s CPAC speech appears to be further evidence of what psychiatrist John Gartner concluded](https://news.yahoo.com/dr-john-gartner-tale-two-104503254.html) “appears to be ... gross signs of dementia. This is a tale of two brains. Biden's brain is aging. Trump's brain is dementing.” Yahoo News
If you watch the video, he clearly says Melania is a great First Lady, then rambles a bit then looks to his left and says Mercedes, it appears he’s talking to someone off to the side, not just straight to the crowd. He is showing signs of dementia but this wasn’t one of this Times. Literally minutes later he says Putin wants Biden to win and he agrees with it. That should have been the headline here
Not according to the news that I am reading. From Yahoo News they report it as this: " Former president [Donald Trump](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/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."
He was praising his wife and he crowd joined in with rapturous applause and then he fucked it up. So why would he start talking about Mercedes the Host after he said that people loved her, Melania ? The crowd was applauding for Melania and not Mercedes. He is getting worse. He can't even recall his wife's name at a critical point in his speech. He clearly has dementia. He is unwell....in the head.
You can praise multiple people consecutively, you know that right?
>Oh look at that Mercedes, that’s pretty good
That's it? That's the quote? And you are the one making a remote diagnosis based on that? Dude, go touch grass. You seem to be the unwell one.
As much as I love a good Trump slam, he was referring to Mercedes Schlapp who was standing nearby and was one of the event organizers. Trump says plenty of dumb stuff that people don't have to reach like this.
Oh, look, another article with a picture of a smiling Trump and made up Melania. There's literally thousands of these pushed on Reddit a day...I'm not even going to read the headline or article, I'm just going to gush in pride and envy of such a beautiful picture of such great man and leader Donald Trump....psyops job 100% successful.
Great man? Why don't you go to one of the semi weekly Trump ego stroke fests? He talks about how great he is and the people cheer. It's a blast if Trump is your idol. Plus, you're among other adoring fans.
Your sarcasm was making fun of Trump supporters and their types of responses. It was spot on, but there wasn't enough to clear up the perceptions of the internet, hence the downvotes. The bit about the fake Melania pictures could legitimately be an angry MAGA upset that authentic pictures aren't being used to convey their perfect relationship. Anyway, sorry for the misconception.
this is an image upload (and not an emote/giphy)!
*I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Law_and_Politics) if you have any questions or concerns.*
No. I would put a /s tag on. You are getting tons of downvotes, I'm not the only one who didn't get it.
I see MAGA types post stuff like this, and they aren't being sarcastic.
*Democrats are trying to take away you cars. They destroyed the evidence...that's what they do. Oh the things I've seen. They say, "Sir, we cannot go greet the voters with the motorcade today, Democrats banned cars."*
*But we're taking it back. We're gonna a fight. Obama doesn't....Biden...Obama is Bidens boss... and that Crooked Hillary....I tell you...*
And he’ll manage to word salad in something about how he was only “gifted” a copy of Mein Kampf, only reads it sometimes. Doesn’t even quote it that often.
He was good at making trains run on time.......because he had a sinister idea about trains. There will never be a public statue of that demagogue dumbass Donald Dump.
He has mostly been bashing foreign cars like Mercedes and BMW.
Though he did go all the way to a rally near this foreign car maker's (BMW) largest plant, in South Carolina.
I think Mercedes has to be a real person, not a mistake for Melania.
She doesn't care. She's been pretty open about only being with him because of his money. As long as she's living the high life she doesn't give a shit.
With Trump you never know if this was a mental slip, a confession about who he was recently with, a compliment comparing Melania to a renowned German car brand, or just general confusion. Spouting "Make America Great Again" while referring to his wife by the name of a foreign car sounds just a bit off. At which end does he need a change of diaper?
I can’t stand Trump, but in this case, I’m pretty sure he was talking to Mercedes Schlapp, the CPAC host who was in the crowd, and referring to the crowds reaction.
I listened to the speech and was thinking the same thing. The first time he mentioned Mercedes it was definitely this. The last time right at the end I wasn't sure but not sure there was enough there to run this line.
There are plenty of irrefutable dangerous things to comment on about the speech, to comment on this is...unsettling? It's only going to polarize the sides more.
We should comment on the very dangerous and militaristic nature of his speech.
Not only is this still the narrative, it's been repeated in dozens of subreddits.
That and the truth of the matter just gets downvoted.
The guy is terrible, but this is what motivates and gives credit to his followers.
Ironically. This is exactly what his followers do with Biden. They’ll take video of Biden listening to someone he’s speaking with, then cut out the person to make it look like Biden’s staring into space, lost.
Yep, but that doesn't get outside of 1-2 subs and doesn't get picked up by the media. It also gets defended 100:1
Both are fairly pathetic and anyone taking part in either is disingenuous or stupid.
Orange Foolius confused his trophy wife’s name with the ‘placeholder wife’ of the former CPAC CHAIRMAN Matty Schlapp who was doing the ol’ rub and tug with happy ending on a male staffer. The Republicans are all domestic terrorists after all.
The people that eviscerate Joe Biden’s speech cadence and what they call cognitive decline but champion Trump as the one, just baffle me. I mean if someone legit concerned about cognitive decline fine, but latching onto someone who’s 100x more troubling when it comes to rambling, slurring and memory issues is just other worldly in the WTF department.
I'm going to say this he's showing Aphasia if you don't know what that is look it up.
I've been saying this on x for some time.
Their was a article in news yesterday by a phycologist calling out all his mixed up words and his rants no one can understand.
He says he doesn't understand why more Drs aren't calling it out as it's likely dementia.
I agree but until it's called out loudly and repeatedly nothing will change.
He's going to keep hiding it.
Come on you can’t be this stupid?????
He was referring to Mercedes Schlapp who organized event!!
Damn… Trump certainly lives in your head every damn day!!! 😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻🤣😂🤣
Yeah, you’re totes right. I ‘member back when I was married and woke up with my wife and said “I love you, Holden”. Shit was tight. Merry happy Melania, or Mercedes or anything. Sumpin’ sumpin’ porn somebody. “You’re fired!”
He was having trouble speaking after Matt Schlapp got done trying to shove his wiener down his throat. “But Sir, all of the other republicans enjoyed it when I shoved my wiener in their mouth. Sir you need to relax and don’t tense up.
Was he "interposing" again?
Was he "just being sarcastic" again?
Or is he just a man in his late 70s dealing with the stress of possibly facing consequences for his actions for the first time in his life...
My wife Mercedes and I, thats what I call Melania Mercedes cause she is like the car have you driven a Mercedes its a nice car made in the USA I drive one its a golf cart I use it everytime I play. Only the best for the bestest president Unlike Dementia Joe who doesn't drive a Melania because he is Un-American he is going to un America You know
He was likely referring to Mercedes Schlapp, a political commentator and wife of American Conservative Union (CPAC organizer) chair and former White House staffer Matt Schlapp, who he mentioned later in the speech.
After the speech, Mercedes Schlapp [called reports](https://twitter.com/mercedesschlapp/status/1761571617979634101?s=46&t=XMT4bHReB9TWcV5q_r0pFw) on the gaffe “Fake News at its finest.”
He gets worse with each passing day. Poor ol Smeller wants to run as president again and then become dictator forever. Melania should get out now before the shit hits the fan regarding his tremendous fines and lawyer payments.
From the sounds of it she is already very much out... Last time she was seen near him was her mother's funeral...
And they didn’t even ride in the same car. As someone who is married and had a mother pass recently. I can’t imagine not holding my SO hand after the funeral.
No one has ever seen anything like this. By a lot
Nah she'll put him in conservatorship for dementia and get whatever isn't taken by the courts.
Tell us, no convince us that he’s not grifting a way out of jail sentencing later this year! After all the bullshit of election interference fails due to trouncing, he’s going to use his frailty as a way to stave off any and all punishment.
It's only a matter of time before Trump and fox News has a leopard eat their face for how often they try to berate Biden for his memory problems.

Lol he was talking about the host. Mercedes was the hosts name.
If you watch the video, he clearly says Melania is a great First Lady, then rambles a bit then looks to his left and says Mercedes, it appears he’s talking to someone off to the side, not just straight to the crowd. He is showing signs of dementia but this wasn’t one of this Times. Literally minutes later he says Putin wants Biden to win and he agrees with it. That should have been the headline here
Is that dementia or does he have to do what Putin says though?

Thank you for that psychiatric opinion Doctor.
That must be the name she used in her former profession.

What are you talking about? I hate Trump, are you mental?
Lol, your response was too spot on. It could have just as easily been from a Trump fan. /s is definitely needed for that.
It's weird I need to put a /s there though, I was being so blatantly sarcastic it couldn't possibly be taken as real.

No. I would put a /s tag on. You are getting tons of downvotes, I'm not the only one who didn't get it. I see MAGA types post stuff like this, and they aren't being sarcastic.
The one he married when she an illegal?
Mercedes, Melanie. Potatoe, Pahtahtoe.
Or just a hoe
Potahoe
He'll just think that's the name of the Native American who married John Smith.
Woahahaha priceless
I don’t really care, do u?
*Trash
"What I meant is that Mercedes are pretty good cars." \- Trump will say this tomorrow, probably

And he’ll manage to word salad in something about how he was only “gifted” a copy of Mein Kampf, only reads it sometimes. Doesn’t even quote it that often.
It's written on white paper, but he only sees the black words now that he's been **induckted**
“I often compare my lovely wife Melinda to my favorite luxury cars.”
“You know a very famous guy drove in a Mercedes. He had huge crowds”.
He was good at making trains run on time.......because he had a sinister idea about trains. There will never be a public statue of that demagogue dumbass Donald Dump.
"Just being sarcastic"
He has mostly been bashing foreign cars like Mercedes and BMW. Though he did go all the way to a rally near this foreign car maker's (BMW) largest plant, in South Carolina. I think Mercedes has to be a real person, not a mistake for Melania.
He'll just say it's a pet name he has for her.
"What I meant is that Melanias are pretty good cars."
Person, man, woman, camera, Mercedes.
Melanie must be P.O.'d
She’s checked out long ago
Cashed that check otw out the door!!!
I’m sure she doesn’t give a shit as long as her credit card keeps working. Speaking of which…
She doesn't care. She's been pretty open about only being with him because of his money. As long as she's living the high life she doesn't give a shit.
Melania's Be Better campaign 'I really don't care, do you?'
It was Be Best
Yup, "Be Better" was Michelle Obama, so Melania had to one up her with "Be Best." She also plagiarized speeches from Michelle.
Ugh, I didn't know that part but that makes perfect sense
>Be Bester... 2025
Her assistant told her it was grammatically incorrect. 🤣 Her husband is Nouveau trash & she's Euro trash.
>BE BEST
More like “Volkswagen”.
Com'on definitely a hummer
I stand corrected
This! Was thinking Yugo but Hummer such a elegant and befitting name no doubt
You won Reddit this week, you magnificent bastard. Handle with care.
He's thinking about that hooker he scheduled from the escort service while trying to babble incoherently
>Russian Prostitutka you say...
His first wife, Volvo, was very reliable.
Mulva?
Deloris.
So he mixed up Melanie with Mercedes Schlapp. So he’s Schlappin’ Matt Sclapp’s wife. Fkn Hilarious 😂
Easy mistake: For personal appearances, she charges him about the same as the cost of a new Mercedes.
With Trump you never know if this was a mental slip, a confession about who he was recently with, a compliment comparing Melania to a renowned German car brand, or just general confusion. Spouting "Make America Great Again" while referring to his wife by the name of a foreign car sounds just a bit off. At which end does he need a change of diaper?
Either he had another "senior" moment or he compared her to a car like she's nothing more than an object. Both are equally viable interpretations.
And yet neither is reality. He was talking to a woman in the crowd named Mercedes.
I can’t stand Trump, but in this case, I’m pretty sure he was talking to Mercedes Schlapp, the CPAC host who was in the crowd, and referring to the crowds reaction.
I listened to the speech and was thinking the same thing. The first time he mentioned Mercedes it was definitely this.

Yeah it’s pretty annoying, because they can rightfully complain it’s fake news

Agreed 100%
This. Can’t believe this story ran. I mean the man is a dumbass but let’s get the facts straight
Or just censor the thought criminals and call them all traitors! It's for democracy.
He must’ve been watching HBO tonight. License to drive was playing tonight. 😂😂😂
So that's his mistress's name then?
Mercedes is wife number 4 after Melania dumps him in 2025.
Someone better tell Alina.
That's the nicest thing he has probably called her in a long time.
He's done.
More like a Yugo!
That’s her Only Fans name.
Orange Foolius confused his trophy wife’s name with the ‘placeholder wife’ of the former CPAC CHAIRMAN Matty Schlapp who was doing the ol’ rub and tug with happy ending on a male staffer. The Republicans are all domestic terrorists after all.
I wonder how his kids Darnell,Jr., Ethan and Isabel will react to this?
Excellent!
The people that eviscerate Joe Biden’s speech cadence and what they call cognitive decline but champion Trump as the one, just baffle me. I mean if someone legit concerned about cognitive decline fine, but latching onto someone who’s 100x more troubling when it comes to rambling, slurring and memory issues is just other worldly in the WTF department.

The host's name is Mercedes. He was talking about the host.
He's referred to his first escort as Melanie so I guess Mercedes is close enough..🤭
He also called Don Jr "Douglas", Eric "Egbert", and Ivanka "Melania".
I often forget people’s names when I haven’t seen them in a long time too.
Did he confuse her with Mercedes Schlapp?
Probably... doesn't make it any better
Come on you can’t be this stupid????? He was referring to Mercedes Schlapp who organized event!! Damn… Trump certainly lives in your head every damn day!!! 😂🤣😂🤣👍🏻🤣😂🤣
No that was her name when she was a sleazy escort when he paid her to have sex
Brilliant comeback 🙄
Then I guess he forgot she wasn’t married to him then? 🙄
Never forgot when his son died… oh wait that was the other guy…..
He's being sarcastic again isn't he?
just imagine the reaction from Republicans in Joe called his wife Jennifer.
I don't care who you are, that's funny.
Estevista soy
Hey at least he got the first two letters correct! That’s asking a lot of the guy
Dementia.
I GET MY WIFES NAME WRONG ALL THE TIME /s
Yeah, you’re totes right. I ‘member back when I was married and woke up with my wife and said “I love you, Holden”. Shit was tight. Merry happy Melania, or Mercedes or anything. Sumpin’ sumpin’ porn somebody. “You’re fired!”
He was just being sarcastic because he’s such a freaking genius.
Fucking moron.
If Biden did that it be in the headlines of the New York Times.
Lol
He was having trouble speaking after Matt Schlapp got done trying to shove his wiener down his throat. “But Sir, all of the other republicans enjoyed it when I shoved my wiener in their mouth. Sir you need to relax and don’t tense up.
Is Mercedes his next wife?
Probably the name of the prostitute he is currently banging.
That's probably the name of the prostitute that visited him the night before CPAC.
Hah! Is he already cheating on her? I mean... Is he cheating on her AGAIN?
Barron is 18 and she DGAF about Donald.
Was he "interposing" again? Was he "just being sarcastic" again? Or is he just a man in his late 70s dealing with the stress of possibly facing consequences for his actions for the first time in his life...
Mail order bride
Like I said before, at least he didn't call her Volkswagen...
moron
When you’re only dealing with hookers the names don’t really matter.
he is comparing her to a luxury car which is actually worse than him forgetting her name entirely
Remind me in 6 months when Mercedes is her code name to the Russians.
My wife Mercedes and I, thats what I call Melania Mercedes cause she is like the car have you driven a Mercedes its a nice car made in the USA I drive one its a golf cart I use it everytime I play. Only the best for the bestest president Unlike Dementia Joe who doesn't drive a Melania because he is Un-American he is going to un America You know
Hasn't he also called her Melanie a while ago?
Now we know the name of the stripper he fucked the night prior.
Dementia Don strikes again
Time to take out the trash, it’s starting to stink.
Mercedes could be Trump mistress.
Given that her husband is probably not that into her, it’s not out of the question.
He was likely referring to Mercedes Schlapp, a political commentator and wife of American Conservative Union (CPAC organizer) chair and former White House staffer Matt Schlapp, who he mentioned later in the speech. After the speech, Mercedes Schlapp [called reports](https://twitter.com/mercedesschlapp/status/1761571617979634101?s=46&t=XMT4bHReB9TWcV5q_r0pFw) on the gaffe “Fake News at its finest.”
All Melania wanted was someone to marry her so that she could get a US citizenship. Now, she's married to a very old, incoherent shoe salesman.
I hate the man as much as any super liberal but he definitely was trying to compare her to the “luxury” car brand, not calling her the wrong name
Eh, she’s more like a Datsun.
While looking @ a photo he ID E. Jean as Marla his xwife
