Donald Trump confuses photo of woman accusing him of raping ex-wife Marla Maples

For all the gum-flapping Republicans are doing about their claims of “concern” over Biden’s “cognitive state,” a confused Donald Trump can’t even recognize his own ex-wife, Marla Maples.

Or rather, he pointed to a photo of another woman, former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused the former one-term president of rape and insisted it was Maples.

“It’s Marla,” Trump said when shown the photo in October. “That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” he confirmed, according to CNN, also, apparently, confusing ex-wife Maples with his current wife, Melania Trump.

From CNN:

Newly unsealed transcripts from Donald Trump’s deposition in the case of E. Jean Carroll show that the former president mistook Carroll for his ex-wife Marla Maples in a photo.

Transcripts show that during his October 2022 deposition, Trump was shown a black and white photo of him interacting with several people, including his then-wife Ivana, Carroll and his then-wife.

“I don’t know who Marla is,” Trump said when shown the photo. “That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” he says when asked to clarify.

Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, then interjected and said “no, that’s Carroll,” according to the transcript.
