MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace introduced President Donald Trump's press conference by saying she would return to do corrections "not if but when" the president lies. However, she probably didn't think the president would refer to his National Security Advisor as Michael Bolton, the singer.
Instead of the broad mustache, Trump mixed up the former 1990s mullet aficionado when talking about the Saudi involvement in the assassination of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi.
"Let's start with the incompetence: Michael Bolton is the singer, not the man Donald Trump dispatched to Russia," Wallace explained. "That was John Bolton. He should learn his name. He's been there a while. Joining us from The New York Times, Peter Baker knows the difference between Michael Bolton and the security adviser.
During his Texas rally Monday, Trump also mixed up Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Mayor Andrew Gillum (D-FL).
