Trump has previously made gaffes and mistakenly used the wrong names for people when giving speeches.
During an October 2022 deposition in the case that found Trump liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll, Trump
mistook a picture of Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples.
"That’s Marla," Trump said, pointing to a picture of Carroll. "That’s my wife."
In January, Trump was trying to
refer to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., but called her Nikki Haley, his Republican presidential primary opponent.
Trump has also mistakenly said he defeated
President Barack Obama in an election and that Biden would lead the U.S. into
World War II.
