Fox News mistakenly calls the president 'David' Trump
While President Donald Trump has reportedly used fake names to maneuver and manipulate the PR game, he's got a brand new label thanks to a funny Fox News flub that hit the air on Tuesday night.
During a discussion on Laura Ingraham's show about Time's "Person of the Year," a graphic was shown on screen listing the 2018 finalists which includes Donald Trump. Or, perhaps, maybe Trump's twin, David?

And in case you think it's a prank, here's Ingraham herself confused by the typo.

So, yes, that happened. It should also be noted that "Jae In" is actually President Moon Jae In's given (aka first) name, not his surname.
Of course, the obvious connection is that Trump previously used the name "David Dennison" as an alias, as noted in the lawsuits surrounding Trump's tryst and NDA agreement with adult film star Stormy Daniels.
But maybe we shouldn't expect much from Ingraham's graphics department given they voluntarily created and shared this graphic in reference to that jaw-dropping Oval Office showdown between Trump and Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

There were plenty of reactions to the mistake to go around, too.

Look at this way: at least this time they didn't call him a dictator.
