I wouldn’t overthink this one… Trump’s “dog whistles” are usually more of an air-raid-siren. Any shred of nuance or subtlety is most likely accidental.
In this case, I strongly doubt there’s some deep meaning behind it - he’s just being an asshole by deliberately mispronouncing her name.

Exactly. If he had real trouble with the name, the misspelling would vary. It’s just standard racism.
He can’t come up with a nickname for her, so this is the best he has. Literally his other option is “Laughing Kamala”
My assumption was always the “afterthought” of this article: he’s trying to force the word “black” into her name.
My thoughts were he’s combing with the star wars senator amadalla or whoever it is I’m thinking of
