Can you imagine the wall to wall coverage had it been Biden who called his wife by the wrong name? It would go on for weeks.

Because it's Trump they'll be nary a peep about this from the "liberal" media.

Edit: Confirmed this morning - not a word about Trump's demented rambling on the front pages of CNN, NBC, NYT or WA Post. The GQP front-runner's inability to string a coherent sentence together or remember his wife's name should be front page news. If Biden tripped over a mic stand it would be.
The GOP is about to nominate an old man who can’t remember his 3rd wife’s name who is facing 91 federal charges.
He also confused E Jean Carroll with his ex-wife Marla Maples in 2022.
Probably another porn star he cheated on his (then) wife with.
The thought of the day that I get to watch Donald Trump finally stroke out on stage for good is honestly what keeps me going at this point.
The guy who gave his daughter plastic surgery treats women as objects. It's not even shocking. It's not news. It's nothing. It's obvious. The weird part is, that people like him for it.
Some witch named Mercedes is polishing his mushroom. That’s fine tho, I’m sure melanoma has a side piece.
I mean, it doesn't make it better, but he got confused because he was talking about Mercedes Schlapp earlier.
Makes perfect sense.

Trump probably regards her as an acquisition, like a luxury car.
Is his brain even going to last the nine months til the election? It feels like in just a month or two he will have degraded to saying the n-word on stage while talking about how bad he wants to fuck his daughter.
What are the odds that we just learned what he has been calling her at home for years?

Really, there are no words.
Weird flex.
Melanoma?
You people are overthinking this would your talks of dementia and objectification. Have you even considered that Mercedes could be her "stage" name ... or the name of wife number 4!
He's been playing too much Dragon's Dogma.
He was comparing her to a car most likely. Seems like something he would do.
