Donald Trump is continuing his attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris, referring to her in social media posts as “Kambala.”
Trump caused outrage last month by revealing he doesn’t care if he mispronounces the name of his political rival. Now he’s upped the ante by addressing her by a new name altogether.
The moniker appeared to stem from a typo in one of his many posts on his Truth Social platform Monday night (August 5). In the first post, Trump claimed, “Food is now at an all time high because of Kamabla/Biden INCOMPETENCE.”
In every subsequent post, Donald Trump called the Vice President “Kambala.”
“Kamabla Harris is afraid to Debate me on FoxNews,” Trump wrote in his final message of the evening. “She will be easier to defeat on the Debate Stage than Crooked Joe Biden, just watch!”
During his speech at Turning Point USA Believers Summit last month, Trump denied mispronouncing Kamala Harris’ name. He claimed there are more than half a dozen ways to say her name.
“There are numerous ways of saying her name. They were explaining to me, ‘you can say Kamala, you can say Kamala’, I said, ‘don’t worry about it. It doesn’t matter what I say. I couldn’t care less if I mispronounce it’,” Trump told the Florida crowd. “Some people think I mispronounce it on purpose, but actually, I’ve heard it said about seven different ways.”

Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff fired back the following day. “I know you have so much trouble pronouncing her name,” he said in a video shared by the Harris Campaign. “But here’s the good news. After the election, you can just call her Madam President.”
