He knows how to pronounce it well. He was caught on video saying it correctly. He does it on purpose

[MementoMori]

The laughing hyena should be her name😂

[olivi]

He doesn't respect her....
She wants respect😂😂

Why should I respect someone that has literally done nothing while in office? Her sole argument is my skin is black so you should vote for me and "Democracy". What a joke. 🤣

[aviator]

So this is the psychology behind it...
He deliberately mispronounces it as a method of undermining her significance. It indicates to others she's so insignificant he doesn't even care to pronounce it properly. It's just an act.

I am not voting for Kamala. I do this weird thing called thinking and it’s detrimental to the Democratic Party.

Hopefully Trump doesn’t catch on to “Hillary Harris” 😂

Because we don’t care how me say it, we don’t want to put the effort into saying it correct because she’s just a significant of time

[leoestrella]

In South Africa, the apartheid leaders followed the same approach. This is racism because a name is the most sacred and personal thing to a person, and the white man doesn't care about her feelings because he views her as something inferior racially.

He needs to quit the name calling BS and give meaningful details on his yet to be known policies.

His tongue is numb from the cocaine that he snorts

When someone intentionally mispronounces a name repeatedly and refuses to learn the correct pronunciation, it’s often a subtle but deliberate psychological strategy. This behavior is typically used to belittle or undermine the person, sending the message that their identity is not important or worthy of respect. By dismissing something as fundamental as a person’s name, the one doing it asserts a form of dominance, signaling that they don’t value the other person enough to even get this basic detail right.
It can serve as a passive-aggressive way to establish superiority or control. This kind of behavior often stems from insecurity or a desire to feel powerful at the expense of others.
Understanding the psychology behind it helps to see it for what it is—a reflection of Mr. Trumps insecurities and need for control. Kamala - for sure recognizing this strategy - can stand firm and not let such disrespectful behavior affect her in any way.

Because it’s very easy is mispronounce. Though he may not have enough respect for her to pronounce it correctly, and he’s not alone. She’s miserable.

Least of our worries in America. Stop knocking Trump for little stuff when he IS the only one that can get American great again! Just like the Ronald Reagan we all loved!

[rebeccaapodaca]

Well I don't blame him with no respect she's not good hasn't done anything good and will only make America worse. She Fell, did everything she's done so far. What makes you think she'd be good as the president?
