Pavarotti - friend of mine
United States President Donald Trump hit the wrong note during a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni on Thursday, when he boasted about being great friends with opera singer Luciano Pavarotti, who happens to have died in 2007. Trump appeared to have been reading from a prepared speech praising Italy’s “artistic and scientific achievement that continues today”, when he suddenly went off script, as he is wont to do.
“From Venice to Florence to Verdi to Pavarotti – friend of mine. Great friend of mine,” he said.

Why, according to the author of the above, did the President of the United States boast "about being great friends with... Pavarotti"? (Trump didn't use the present tense when he said: "From Venice to Florence to Verdi to Pavarotti – friend of mine. Great friend of mine.")

Trump can hardly make a proper English sentence. He speaks in dismembered fragments. That's why he's such a aficionado of tweeting.
