Trump finds new way to misspell Nikki Haley's birth name in new racist dog whistle

Donald Trump found another way to misspell Nikki Haley's birth name in an insulting attack on his Republican primary rival.

The former president referred to his one-time United Nations ambassador, whose given name is Nimarata, as "Nimrada" earlier this week, and Friday morning he called her "Nimbra" in an apparent effort to draw attention to her family's Indian heritage.

"Governor Chris Sununu, the now failing Governor of New Hampshire, where I am beating his endorsed candidate, Nimbra, by big numbers, and DeSanctimonious by even bigger numbers, should spend more time keeping Democrats from voting in the Republican Primary - How ridiculous is that?" Trump posted on Truth Social.

Haley was born in South Carolina to immigrant Sikh parents but has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since she was a small child, and she took her husband's last name when they married nearly 30 years ago, giving up her maiden name, Randhawa.

"Anyway, it doesn’t matter, because Nimbra doesn’t have what it takes," Trump posted. "She’s weak on China, Russia, Borders, and Crime, but never saw a war she didn’t like. I defeated ISIS, Rebuilt our Military, and brought our soldiers back home. I hope Sununu’s endorsement of Nimbra has more strength than Kim Reynolds’ Iowa endorsement of DeSanctus! How did that work out? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

"Nimbra" seems to be a shortened form of his insulting misspelling of Nimarata, similar to his shorthand "DeSanctus" insult against Ron DeSantis, whom he often refers to as "DeSanctimonious," and is widely seen as an update of his birther attacks questioning Barack Obama's eligibility to serve as president.
