The late Wendy Wasserstein was a famous playwright Popular in New York back in the day. I suspect the president was just inadvertently channeling that name when he was tweeting about “wasserman-Shultz”

Yes, I was just going to write that fact if nobody else had. I’m certain that was the reason he said “Wendy.” Donald Trump is a lifetime New Yorker and the name “Wendy Wasserstein” was splashed all over the place for years and was in newspapers, radio, TV, a household phrase. She wrote successful Broadway plays, including, “The Heidi Chronicles.” It’s easy to understand why President Trump’s brain, like a lot of other New Yorkers and regulars at the theater and consumers of New York media would have by mistake thought “Wendy Wasserstein” and conflated that with this close match to Debbie Wasserman? On the surface similar New York women of the same ethnicity, about the same age, and fame/notoriety. Debbie, Heidi, Wendy....At least he didn’t call her Alexa.
