    Considering that every accusation is a confession, the headline should be:

    Trump admits that he can’t remember Kamala Harris’ last name.

    “I heard on good authority (a lot of good people, quality people told me, sir—they said sir! We, have you heard this yet? you’ll be hearing about. about a lot o f they said “Sir! did you hear about Trump’s tiny peanits?” I said “that can’t be right!” thats not , but they assured me, i dont know, look, a lot of —-I was told by a lot of high quality, sources, uh… but they and crooked Joe Biden and Obiden are going to take it with them to the border. they’re gonna take your jobs and furniture. lot of furniture —-good quality couches are gonna go away and they want to do that to you.” -Trump (deranged ghoul candidate)

    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.

    “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?

      Her husbands last name is Emhoff. Maybe he is referring to that? If Lemmy can’t understand him, what chance does his base?

        Is it a compulsory that a married female take on the male last name? Am from Asia and this isn’t practiced at all.

          It’s not compulsory though it’s widely practiced and probably used to be required for certain marriage arrangements.

          It’s becoming less common and many women will hyphenate their last name after marrying now.

      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”).

      I’m not a doctor, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn last night. But no real medical professional would ever publicly confirm any actual diagnosis due to HIPPA concerns. What save you also saves him.

      But, feel free to speculate all you want to. HIPPA doesn’t cover speculation by non-medical people.

      **Edit for missing words. Need more tea.

    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.

      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)

    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…”
