    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’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.

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

    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.

    I read a suggestion that he’s combining Kamala and Obama because he’s a dumb ass racist and that theory actually kind of tracks.

      Sounds kinda dumb to me. Let’s link her to one of the most popular politicians in recent history, that’ll hurt her.

      I have heard another idea, that it’s a reference to the “blah people” meme. Which make sense, given that it’s also racist. But honestly, who fucking cares? It’s a demented weird asshole doing demented weird asshole things. I honestly can’t wait until the day we no longer have to wake up to legions of Trump Whisperers trying to figure out what he “really meant” by whatever insane drivel spewed from his mouth.

        I heard someone use the concept of egregores to analyse the way Trump’s campaign works.

        Trump, the mortal human man, is a blabbering incoherent fool. But there exists an idea of Trump in the minds of his various worshippers that is imbued with power by their belief. When Trump babbles, the egregore in the minds of the worshippers borrows their brainpower to produce various interpretations of what he says, with the most appealing fiction surviving. In this way, an organism made of thoughts in the minds of thousands of followers uses the processing power of those followers to produce rhetoric far beyond what the mortal man is capable of.

        Another word for an egregore is a god. They are the central figures of religions. Trump has become a god through the worship of his many followers. What we are seeing is the power of worship the transform the incoherent words of a man into the gospel of a beloved prophet. We are witnessing in real time an ascent to divinity. And to be specific, an apotheosis into an evil, vengeful god.

          Sounds like something out of Unknown Armies. Recommend checking it out if you like modern day occult and roleplaying games. (I only know 2nd edition but there is a third edition)

    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?

    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 typo which neither he, his sycophants, or his cult could ever bring themselves to admit, so they’ll just keep running with it and pretending it means something (a la “covfefe”).

      It’s probably assumed it’s his rapid cognitive decline.

      His supporters:

      “Oh that’s just his syphilis/dementia/dry mouth from methamphetamines…”

      I think he mispronounced it once and was made fun of for it, so now he is doubling down to try and convince people he did it on purpose as some sort of 4D chess insult no one but smart trump can understand.

    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.
