"Trump doesn't know his opponent's name" really ought to be the headline.

Considering he's still talking about Biden so much, I think you're probably right.
Kamala Biden and Tim Apple
And they'll undoubtedly appoint sharks and electrocution to cabinet positions.
Did you see his press conference? He started rambling about Biden, and I'm like "Dude, you aren't running against Biden anymore..."And then he remembered that he wasn't running against Biden, and he started talking about how the Democrats forced Biden out and what a shame it was and how it was a COUP. Of course, he's no big fan of Biden, and it's actually better for him to run against Kamala, but don't you think it's terrible what they did to Joe?!?
He's so bothered that Biden isn't running anymore, and he's doing such a poor job of hiding it.
The orange felon/rapist is unbelievably STUPID. He thinks asylum seekers are from mental asylums and thinks, or outright lies, about being on a helicopter that had to make an emergency landing.
I feel like the Dems ought to pull the records from one of his bankruptcy cases and just run an add that runs through all of the creditors he stiffed. "Employee A, janitor at casino, owed $700, received $30." "Plumber who fixed pipe at hotel, owed $1400, received $60." The man bankrupted a casino, a literal money printing machine. Why would we want his incompetent ass anywhere near the controls of our country.
The man bankrupted a casino
The man bankrupted several casinos.
Considering that every accusation is a confession, the headline should be:
Trump admits that he can't remember Kamala Harris' last name.
Fucking weird
Okay, I'm convincing myself he really doesn't realize that he isn't running against Nikki Haley again.
She was Indian, now all of a sudden she's black (Harris's father is Jamaican, her mother was from Chennai, Haley's parents were both Punjabi)
Nobody knows her last name (Harris has always been Harris, but Haley's maiden name was Randhawa)
That's actually probably more true that 99.9% shit that falls out of his stupid mouth
That...is a very interesting take. I really like it.
It's even better than I thought:
“Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,”
This is why Trump is so hard to satirize. The reality is always a bigger punchline.
Its just weird how the jokes are always more flattering.
"No, you"

Reminds me of the memes about nobody knowing Obamas last name
Just like Obama, we will never know Harris's last name.
It's his way of belittling his opponents. Same thing with his idiotic Kamabla attempt that fell flat. He's like a school yard bully. Unreal that people are voting for this guy.
The kamabla thing felt mildly racist towards Latinos
I think some are at least not wanting people to know. My neighbor who has proudly flying his Trump flag as finally taken it down. Not sure if it changes who he voting for or not.
A culture shift where people are ashamed to publicly support such a terrible person is a step in the right direction, though. I'll take it.
It makes no sense that they supported him in the first place. His only redeeming quality (in their eyes) is that he says what he thinks because he has no shame.
You’ve got to run everything through his dementia/ego filter. Whenever he says “everyone tells me…” he means “I tell me…” and when he says “nobody knows…” he means “I don’t know…”
“Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,” he said.
“If you ask people, do you know what her last name is, nobody has any idea what it is,” continued the former president. “Harris. It’s like Harris.”
“I don’t know, how the hell did this happen?”
Is this a sign of dementia? Any doctor can confirm?
Either that or some feeble attempt at a dog whistle, like how he's openly speculated about her ethnicity, ie 'her given name is Harris but surely she has a different last name' type birther bullshit rambling
Yeah, a kind of "where are you really from originally?" bullshit that most non-white people will have been asked at some point.
Which is crazy, because her Jamaican father is named Donald Harris (she didn't take her husband's surname), so if you actually follow Trump's breadcrumb and investigate Kamala Harris' lineage, you find a family name that is actually more common and more Anglo than Trump's last name (the anglicised version of the German "Drumpf").
Between that and him faking being Swedish, his family sure doesn't want to be known as German.
I'm not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. But no real medical professional would ever publicly confirm any actual diagnosis due to HIPPA concerns. What save you also saves him.
But, feel free to speculate all you want to. HIPPA doesn't cover speculation by non-medical people.
**Edit for missing words. Need more tea.
Her husbands last name is Emhoff. Maybe he is referring to that? If Lemmy can't understand him, what chance does his base?
Is it a compulsory that a married female take on the male last name? Am from Asia and this isn't practiced at all.
It's not compulsory though it's widely practiced and probably used to be required for certain marriage arrangements.
It's becoming less common and many women will hyphenate their last name after marrying now.
The man is running on a single braincell and that oneis disintegrating as we speak
And "she's got like 6 different ways of pronouncing her name nobody can get it right"
No, you have 6 different ways of pronouncing her name. Nobody else has this problem because they have ears and the ability to repeat names after they hear them.
It just gets more and more bizarre. Dementia Don the weird racist rapist is grasping for straws that aren't there. I look forward to watching his cult melt down because it won't be long before they realize the ship is going down.
Guy’s just totally fucked.
DonOld is so weird.
He's trying to imply her "real" last name is something more foreign-sounding. Just more racism.
I'm just gonna leave this here
Besides being Trump, it is in no way related to this story, it just makes me laugh because it's so stupid.
Posted eight years ago, a better time. Before we knew exactly how stupid it would be.
What the actual fuck did I just watch?!?!? Did he just actually blow up the world?
“I heard on good authority (a lot of good people, quality people told me, sir—they said sir! We, have you heard this yet? you’ll be hearing about. about a lot o f they said “Sir! did you hear about Trump’s tiny peanits?” I said “that can’t be right!” thats not , but they assured me, i dont know, look, a lot of —-I was told by a lot of high quality, sources, uh… but they and crooked Joe Biden and Obiden are going to take it with them to the border. they’re gonna take your jobs and furniture. lot of furniture —-good quality couches are gonna go away and they want to do that to you.” -Trump (deranged ghoul candidate)
Look, I’m not trying to make a dig about Trump’s age, because I’m not about that ageism.
But he is 78, and with the things he’s been saying lately… is he going senile?
He thinks people didn’t know Kamala’s black until recently (despite her “that girl was me” zinger in 2020, about segregated bussing). He thinks people don’t know Kamala’s last name.
Is it just him who can’t remember, because he’s losing his memory?
I don't think it's just senility. He's *been showing signs of frontotemporal dementia for a while. Have you ever seen one of his interviews from the 90s? Still a terrible man, but at least he was coherent.
Dude above us pointed something interesting out..Nikki Hailey is full of Indian, Trump probably thinks he's running against her.
By the way, my dad had dementia in his final years, and I would never joke about dementia. It is not funny.
Reminds me of when Republicans said Obama so much they forgot his first name wasn't that. Same people and same weird racism so it makes sense.
Translated from liar speak: "Kamala Harris is stuck in my head and I can't get it out!"
