Former president 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.
Did you just read the quote of what he said or did you actually listen to it? By the way he says it, it’s clear he’s using it as a name.
I would say the article even printed the quote wrong. They wrote, “Oh look at that Mercedes, that’s pretty good.”
They dropped a word and in my opinion got the punctuation wrong. I would quote it as, “Oh look at that, wow. Mercedes, that’s pretty good.”
“Oh look at that, wow. Mercedes, that’s pretty good. Wow, she’s good.”
Yeah it’s very clear he’s referring to her, not a car.
