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.
True, sorry, I just learned that the author was French. I guess it wasn’t part of my curriculum. Maybe it would have been if I followed a more humanities focused path.
You would think French, being also a romance language, meant that Dumas was more popular in Spanish speaking schools. Or maybe my school just sucked :)
Maybe that and maybe this is similar to the reason I’ve passed on most of Russian classics, speaking Russian.
