"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.
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.
"No, you"

Its just weird how the jokes are always more flattering.
Reminds me of the memes about nobody knowing Obamas last name
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?
By the way, my dad had dementia in his final years, and I would never joke about dementia. It is not funny.
Dude above us pointed something interesting out..Nikki Hailey is full of Indian, Trump probably thinks he's running against her.
He's trying to imply her "real" last name is something more foreign-sounding. Just more racism.
I mean I hate him, but I didn't get that from this. To me it sounded like he was suggesting that her newfound supporters know very little about her, that they are fair-weather followers or something. It's easy to imagine that one of his yes-men showed him a clip of a rally where somebody was fumbling for her last name, and he just took that idea and magnified a single example of something into "nobody knows", like he always does.
Considering that every accusation is a confession, the headline should be:
Trump admits that he can't remember Kamala Harris' last name.
Fucking weird
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.
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
“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").
Definitely not something a person of sound mind would come up with.
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.
"Hussein?"

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.
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.
What a fucking weirdo
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…”
Huh weird. Her name is Kamala Harris. Should be easy to remember!
Whatever, dude. Just because you’re the smartest person in the world doesn’t mean you have to show off. Now people don’t even know China Joe’s last name!
"Joe" is China Joe's last name
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.
"Old dude fights off dementia harder than he's faught paying his bills"
Guy’s just totally fucked.
Translated from liar speak: "Kamala Harris is stuck in my head and I can't get it out!"
Just like Obama, we will never know Harris's last name.
DonOld is so weird.
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.
The man is running on a single braincell and that oneis disintegrating as we speak
This got real Tim Apple vibes with a dash of racism.
