Former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump bestowed a new nickname on his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump has resorted to calling Harris "Kamabla" in his latest posts on his social media platform, Truth Social.
Most netizens reacted negatively to his new nickname for Harris, whose other nicknames include "Lyin' Kamala" and "Laffin' Kamala." Many deemed the act childish and immature, with one person tweeting:
More people accused him of being "desperate" and "pathetic" for coming up with nicknames as a way of disparaging Harris.
"Kamabla?? He’s weak and pathetic," one person tweeted.
"The weirdo is desperate and flailing."
""Kamabla" What a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being," another user commented.
Another user noted,
""Kamabla" that sound you make when you deliberately mispronounce Kamala at the same time your dentures come loose."
Others accused the former President of grasping at straws to attack Harris, as they both campaign for the upcoming November elections. One netizen wrote,
"Kamabla? They don't have anything on her."
"Kamabla? He’s sundowning again," another person added.
One user speculated,
"QAnon is dead. MAGAnon has killed it. Back when people cared about the QDrops and the "Decodes" gibberish like this from Trump would have been the only thing they talked about. Now nobody cares about "Kamabla". It's all Adin Ross, the stock market, the VP pick etc etc."
Donald Trump also coined "Kamala Crash" after the recent stock market crash
The recent stock market crash saw Wall Street face its worst day in nearly two years, leading to Donald Trump blaming Kamala Harris and Joe Biden for their "inept U.S. Leadership." On his social media platform, he coined the term "Kamala Crash" to talk about the issue, posting:
“Of course there is a massive market downturn. Kamala is even worse than Crooked Joe. Markets will NEVER accept the Radical Left Lunatic that DESTROYED San Francisco and California, as a whole. Next move, THE GREAT DEPRESSION OF 2024! You can’t play games with MARKETS. KAMALA CRASH!!!”
Following this, #KamalaCrash trended on X. In a follow-up post, the Republican nominee claimed he "was right about everything," urging people to vote for him in the upcoming elections for "Trump prosperity."
The former President has often been known for using nicknames for people, referring to President Joe Biden as Sleepy Joe, Hillary Clinton as "Crooked Hillary", Jeb Bush as "Low Energy Jeb" and Bernie Sanders as "Crazy Bernie," among others.
Donald Trump's recent controversy
The Republican nominee was recently embroiled in controversy after his appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists' annual convention in Chicago on July 31, 2024, where he questioned Kamala Harris's racial identity.
In response to a question of whether he believed Harris was chosen as the Democratic nominee because she was a Black woman, he alleged that Harris identified as an Indian her whole life before she "happened to turn Black." He said,
“She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?”
The response was met with backlash on social media, with many rightfully pointing out that Harris was biracial, as her father was Jamaican and her mother was Indian.
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will stand for election on November 5, 2024.
