Donald Trump used his social media platform Friday to mock Nikki Haley ‘s birth name, the latest example of the former president keying on race and ethnicity to attack people of color, especially his political rivals.
In a post on his Truth Social account, Trump repeatedly referred to Haley, the daughter of immigrants from India, as “Nimbra.” Haley, the former South Carolina governor, was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, as Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. She has always gone by her middle name, “Nikki.” She took the surname “Haley” upon her marriage in 1996.
Trump, himself the son, grandson and twice the husband of immigrants, called Haley “Nimbra” three times in the post and said she “doesn’t have what it takes.”
Nimbra? He really is stupid. Nimrod was right there… Nimrata “Nimrod” Haley. Would’ve probably had a whole news cycle devoted to it
Nimrod, before being an insult, was a biblical figure, a grandson of Noah, a great hunter. Which is why Bugs calls Elmer that sarcastically. But IDK how many evangelicals have read enough of the Bible to know that or get upset about it.
That’s hilarious! You said “read.”

Why read when you can just sit in a pew every Sunday and let some preacher tell you what to believe while pretending that’s all it takes to be a good person?
Apparently according to the wiki entry, it’s Daffy Duck that calls Elmer ‘Nimrod’, while Bugs later calls Yosemite Sam ‘Nimrod’:

You know that, and I know that, but Trump’s base certainly does not.

I mean, Nimrat is even easier. I’m kinda surprised he didn’t go with that and start comparing her face to a rat.
