Trump thinks mispronouncing Kamala Harris’ name is a good attack route.

    Am I the only one that thinks Kamala is a beautiful name? It’s also not a name you hear every day.

    Some people are suggesting Harris starts name calling in her campaign. I really think if she wants to slam him in a campaign, just list the issues Trump never wants to talk about. Even some conservative states were fighting for abortion. Stop making these elections a joke and the people will come.

    Fight back by compromising less, not name calling.

      I hope so too… unfortunately they probably get all their advice from people who ran the last couple complains. Plus, technically super PAC can’t have input from the politician I think.

      Kamala seems to be going with ‘weird’.

      Which is… actually really good. It’s one word that works with Trump, JD Vance, Crypto ros, Elon Musk, and the whole slew of supporters / Trumps base.

    When asked why, the Trump campaign, in a statement to ABC News, said “race and gender have nothing to do with why Kamala Harris is the most unpopular Vice President in history.”

    Citation, motherfuckers?

      You kind of need to start assuming that anything coming out of his mouth is a lie. They are right less than 50% of the time.

    All he’s doing is showing everyone how petty, spiteful, and bigoted he is - which is unintentionally honest of him.

      They can say Barrack Hussain Obama again while they’re at it. For all the good that ever did for them.

      It just proves them to be the racist party if they can’t even say a name right

    She should fire back “It’s Kamala Harris, It seems with your age, you’re struggling to remember, it’s OK. Soon you’ll be able to call me President”

    I want her to treat this as if he is doing it on accident, and correct him like he is a little child. Really humiliate him.

      Yup. Then, when he’s still mispronouncing it, pivot to him not being able to remember how to pronounce it correctly being another sign of his mental faculties failing.

        We bullied a boomer who kept doing that at work.

        Old fart kept mispronouncing staff member’s names thinking it was funny and workplace suddenly went passive aggressive on him.

          Alright, I know you’re not OP but is the person implying that Kamala is difficult because it has Sanskrit origins?

            No, I’m saying it’s pretty simple. Those are just basic letters.

            Compare that to Donald’s name in devanagari script: डोनाल्ड

            Edit: And also devanagari (along with most Indian script) is phonetic. What you say is what you write. There’s no confusion about pronunciation of letters no matter which word they’re in.

    I don’t get it. I mean shit, probably I pronounce it wrong, but then so does every other Minnesotan.

    Why are they trying to be dumber than they are? That makes it like less weaponized stupidity and more… The stupidity that gets you in detention?
