Trump called his wife by the wrong name today

But which candidate do we have to worry about? Trump today called his wife Melania "Mercedes". This is after he said that Israel was the capital of Israel yesterday. There are so many other misstatements but I don't feel like taking the time to document them. People can be old and/or tired but how do you misstate the name of your spouse?

Neither of the two major party candidates for President should be running based on lack of mental acuity alone.

I would like to see Gavin Newsom as the nominee but I'll vote for Biden of course because Trump is awful.

@NJChicaa I am with you all the way. If this was any other buffoon I would laugh.

Biden stutters but controls it. Typically those who do have pauses at times.

Eventually there will be one. It is likely Biden will be the last president who was alive during World War II.

We are not getting that option, so it's not worth talking about. It's Biden or Trump. All we can do in November is decide which one gets the checkmark.

He’s been married three times with activities between the marriages, so you can probably figure out why/

I think this election cycle has proven two things already. 1. People accept anything the media tells them. We’ve had three primaries and they’re already handing the nominations out. 2. If we have a minimum age for presidential candidates, we should also have a maximum.

I am for a maximum age for all politicians, not only the President.

I would really like to see both parties represented by someone younger; but I know who I won't vote for. Have a good day.

Remember when Biden thought his sister in law was his wife or the President of Egypt was the Mexican president, or when Obama said he had campaigned in all 57 states? The funny thing about a post like this is that when it comes to when a Democrat goofs on the campaign trail or anywhere else they always make the excuse, "Well, he's working hard and he is tired. He's got a lot going on and a lot on his mind. He's bound to make a mistake or two." But when a Republican does it? It's something much bigger.

I just think it is funny. You love to say that I won't point out Biden gaffes. The other day he met with Alexey Navalny's widow, Yulia. He later called her Yolanda. That doesn't particularly upset or worry me as he had never met her before and it isn't a common name in America. The fact that Trump got his own wife's name wrong is far more strange to me.

@porwest I’m not dismissing it. I just think calling your wife the wrong name is more strange

@NJChicaa The difference is that you dismiss Biden's and claim Trump's to be for a particular reason. That's your bias shining through. Wouldn't it be stranger to mistake your SIL for your wife like Biden did? Or to almost walk off the edge of a stage? He'd have broken his neck. He had no idea where he was.
