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.

He can’t come up with a nickname for her, so this is the best he has. Literally his other option is “Laughing Kamala”
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.
