What does Trump’s new nickname for Kamala Harris mean? Wrong answers only

Donald Trump's proclivity for nicknames is just one of the many ways he tries to demean people. Whether it’s “Lil Marco” Rubio, “Birdbrain” Nikki Haley, or “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz, the Republican presidential nominee is notorious for his insistence on using juvenile monikers.

His latest petty task: trying (and failing) to come up with a nickname for Vice President Kamala Harris. He alternated between “Crazy Kamala” and “Lyin’ Kamala,” and even tried “Laughing Kamala”—but none of those iterations have really taken off. 

But now, Trump is panicking—and his nickname game is weaker than ever. Enthusiasm for Harris is building and her choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as a running mate only supercharged the Democratic Party’s momentum. In response, Trump’s cap-heavy rants on his Truth Social site have begun to include references to the Democratic presidential nominee as “Kamabla.”
