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.

          It’s like a human centipede of sexual predators.

          Thanks for that horrifying visual. Ugh, I need to go soak my brain in bleach.

            On second thought, please don’t:

            Trump’s bleach press conference happened one year ago today. We’ve never been the same.

              I remember that press conference. It was so clear that someone had mentioned that bleach and UV are effective virus killers and he just ran with it like a PSA for awareness of Dunning-Krueger.

                  Ah, god. That was (is) funny. It shouldn’t be. It’s not really. But I can’t help it. That was so fucking poetic.

                    Are you also into prophecies?

                That whole thing was so ridiculous, they were talking about what kills the virus on surfaces. There are a lot of things that can sanitize a table or counter but that doesn’t mean they can kill germs in your body without also killing you. Imagine having a sunburn inside your lungs because someone shoved a light down there, that was Trump’s genius solution to the pandemic in that moment.
