    Pretty miserable that this is tolerated by Trump voters. So it is.

    "Remember : she's not like you and me!!" he obviously is racistly implying.


    Again and again at Trump’s campaign rally, the former president invoked her by first name. His 90-minute speech included about four dozen references — and in many of those, he botched the pronunciation. It wasn’t a first for Trump — he similarly botched it in 2020, even cracking jokes in the process.

    “He’s going to continue his strategy of name calling and dehumanization to attempt to rally his base.... “Mispronouncing a name is a common tactic used by people who try to do what we call ‘other,’ to other someone.”

    Haley was born as Nimarata Nikki Randhawa but long used her middle name as her first.....Yet Trump repeatedly referred to her as “Nimbra” when the two faced off in the primaries this cycle.


    Trump botches Kamala Harris’s first name, again and again and again

    This is why people don't take you seriously.

    Lets see how this hot button issue does for the polls... Im guessing everyone - EVERYONE - cares and you will see a massive boost to Kamala, however its pronounced.

    I know you're smarter than everyone else Jo but here's a hint.

    If everything is racist, nothing is racist. Adjust your virtue signaling accordingly.

    Is that right?

    What would your thoughts be on a national politician repeatedly and deliberately referring to, for example, Trump spokesman Huyen "Steven" Cheung as :

    "Hoooooooooo-yen"
    "Cheeeeee-ungggg"

    or

    "Hoooooooooo-yen Cheeeeee-ungggg"



    How about this hypothetical :

    "Next we'll here a comment from Hoooooooooooo-yen Cheeeeeeeeeeeee-ong."

    "I prefer to go by Steven, please."

    Might that be considered derisive or racist? According to you, a proper response could, in fact, be :

    "Oh don't be so triggered.....Hoooooooooooooo-yen." ??

    S**t is absurd.

    I think this crap is more a sign of Trump's grade school bully tactics than his racism. He's insulted the names of every political opponent he's had, regardless of their background. If anything, this behavior shows him being quite egalitarian, as he's equally an ass to anyone and everyone.

    Still, not exactly something to celebrate in a POTUS candidate.

    Kind of ironic when the biggest snowflake on the planet is your orange god.

    That observation is so true! The term gets so broadly applied that it becomes almost meaningless.

    This also reminds me of a line from a Gilbert & Sullivan opera:
    “When every one is somebodee,
    Then no one's anybody!”​

    Mispronouncing first names is part of Trump's comedy shtick along with juvenile nicknames like "Little Marco", "Lyin' Ted" , "Meatball Ron", "Ron DeSanctimonious" "Crooked Hillary""Basement Biden""Sleepy Joe" and the list goes on and on. Let's face it Deranged Donald is the best insult comedian to ever run for the presidency.

    No doubt, Trump won't be able to contain his racism and misogyny during this campaign. During White House press conferences, he frequently derided the journalists who were black women.

    But, he also can't contain himself as a schoolyard bully. He always labels his opponents with juvenile nicknames. Having a silly Trump nickname should be a badge of honor.

    More concerning is the fact that Trumps use of dehumanizing language ("vermin", "animals who infest", "poisoning the blood of our country") to turn people into "others", who he can blame for all our problems, is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

    One of my favorite skits.

    Also, I should note that it is absolutely about racism.

    There are so many posts by so little amount of people because not even the people who agree with you give a rats arse about this. Funny thing is, there are multiple threads with your condescending post saying you thought the thread was about something serious and worth your time yet you sit here virtue signaling about a name when as VA mentioned, thats his shtick.

    Your problem is that you think you're special. You are no more significant than any other liberal I call out for being a wet blanket. You're just this weeks forum Jester here for my amusement. You are an attention seeker, I've given it to you now post something else for me to laugh at before I get bored of you too.

    Try not to be so upset. Stress can be unhealthy.
