Here's an excerpt:
Donald Trump has been using an ugly word to describe Vice President Kamala Harris. No, I don’t mean privately calling her the B-word, although he reportedly does. I mean “communist,” an insult echoed by some of his allies. For example, Elon Musk, in a post on X, declared “Kamala is quite literally a communist,” demonstrating, among other things, that he quite literally doesn’t know the meaning of “literally.”
Krugman concludes:
Trump and MAGA seem to be responding by throwing lots of stuff at the wall and hoping some of it sticks.
However, the kind of character attacks that worked against Hillary Clinton and, in a different way, against Biden don’t seem to be gaining traction. I almost felt sorry for the Fox News host Jesse Watters, who tried to attack Harris by saying: “She likes wine. She likes food. She likes to dance.” This is supposed to make voters dislike her?
So since nothing else seems to be working, hey, why not call her a communist?
You can read a summary of the NYT article here in RawStory. While Krugman doesn't refer to how Trump mispronounced Kamala's name, author of the RawStory article put it together:
Krugman then shares his personal view that Trump's Commie-la attacks show just how much President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 presidential election has rattled him.
I am not certain Trump is doing this on purpose. He doesn't put enough emphasis on the "commie" part of her name to make sure his supporters figure out that he wants to say that she's a communist.
Once he does figure it out it would make sense for him to stop calling her Kambala. This sounds like a Latin dance step, perhaps a new version of the Rumba, an Afro-Cuban dance style. Considering Kamala' s heritage this would make sense.As long as Trump calls her Kambala she can have dancers at her rallies introduce a new dance with that name. She could also ask some of her musician supporters to write and perform a song reminsicent of Chubby Checker's "Do the Twist" called "Do the Kambala."
