    He probably doesn’t remember what it means. He only has a dull recollection that it was hurtful/insulting/“funny”, so sticks with it.

    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.

      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

        Or the tiktok sound where they’re like ‘senator blah, chief commisioner blah, vice president blah!’ but I can’t remember enough about it to find it.

    My guess is he’s trying to say “Kama-BLAH” as an insult. But no one’s picking up on it.

      Hm. I was thinking something more like “Ka-Mob-la” so it’s a dog whistle for racism based crime tropes.

    My guess is a take on “bla bla bla” Kamabla, to be condescending and bullying. Just a guess.

    If so, it’s obviously very childish, which is right in tune with everything trump and the GOP.

    With such genius gems as “bigrant crime” he’s probably trying to smash “black” onto her name after the whole “she suddenly became black” horseshit

    I still can’t fucking believe that this verbally incontinent, senile, silver-spoon-deep-throating, walrus-looking, absolute shitbag is the guy we’re fucking up the entire system and body of law to protect, and 50% of the nation is seeing all of this and thinking, “yep, that’s my president.” It’s fucking incredible that a Burger King can operate with our per capita of knuckle-draggers, let alone a country.

      It seems that many humans place worshipping someone who has power and status over making the lives of themselves and others better.

      It’s really an antisocial thing. They want the world in flames so that their own pain burns away.

        I also think the root is pain, misery, trauma. They choose to hide it, but most importantly blame it on everyone but themselves. They choose the cult to be surrounded by enablers. No need for them to face the truth anymore.

      There is a person down the street flying a Trump flag.

      I hope they get pancreatic cancer. I hope all Trump voters get pancreatic cancer. If they did I might join a religion because it would be a sign of a benevolent god existing.

        I don’t know. I’m not sure that benevolence would include killing people for being stupid and wrong.

        I feel that a benevolent god, instead, would ensure that stupid and wrong people were rare, and didn’t harm society with their stupidity.

    You guys are reading way too much into it. He thinks he’s saying her same correctly. He’s a demented old man. You hear the shit this guy has been saying? Hannibal Lecter? Shark Lightning? Rapidoo?

    If he wasn’t senile, I might think that he’s assuming that his pronunciation “sounds Indian”, and is thus just a continuation of his fuckwitted assertion that she “turned Black” (from Indian). But he IS senile, and I can’t credit him with being able to string together an insult (that she’s lied about her racial heritage) even as simple-minded as that.
