Trump (Feb. 24): In a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump
appeared to endorse Biden, telling the audience he agrees with Russian President Vladimir Putin
in preferringBiden over Trump.
Trump (Feb. 24): In the same CPAC speech, Trump
appeared to forget the name of his wife, Melania Trump, responding to loud applause in the crowd by saying “Mercedes, that’s pretty good!”—though his campaign claimed it was a reference to Mercedes Schlapp, a political commentator and the wife of American Conservative Union (CPAC organizer) chair Matt Schlapp, who he mentioned later in the speech…”
