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.

President Donald Trump warned that members of the January 6th Committee would pay a "very steep price" after claiming that investigative materials were destroyed.

"Can anyone believe that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs illegally and criminally deleted and destroyed all information having to do with their 'investigation' into January 6th?" Trump railed in a Tuesday post to Truth Social.

"The reason they did this is because it all came out my way. I was proven innocent, and they were proven to be liars and cheats," he added. "They must be held accountable, and pay A VERY STEEP PRICE!"

Legal advocates celebrated Friday’s abrupt resignation of Trump ally Julianne Murray as U.S. attorney in Delaware, calling it another blow to the president’s efforts to bypass Senate confirmation rules. On their podcast, Norm Eisen and Kate Phang said Murray stepped aside after a key 3rd Circuit ruling undercut similar interim appointments, including that of Alina Habba.

Vanity Fair's global editorial director took aim at White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in an accompanying article about a photo shoot conducted for the publication's interview with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.

Editor Mark Guiducci described the behind-the-scenes dynamics of the shoot, referencing jokes about job security and decisions regarding which close aides should be included in the coverage.

A visit to Leavitt's office prompted Guiducci to comment on her decor and the presence of a uniformed guard stationed to tend to the fireplace in the 28-year-old press secretary's workspace.

Guiducci included a subtle jab at Leavitt regarding her well-documented aversion to factual accuracy. He wrote that he was accompanied by photographer Christopher Anderson, deputy editor Claire Howorth, global creative director Jennifer Pastore, assistants Benjamin Coppola and Trip Peters, and interviewer Chris Whipple.

"Karoline Leavitt was ready for us. Leavitt has brought revolution to the White House press briefing room, prevaricating on everything from tariffs and soybean sales to condom contracts and Tylenol."

Guiducci described Leavitt's office as featuring a working fireplace with a uniformed guard to light it, along with décor elements including an American flag throw blanket and seasonal pumpkin pillows. He noted sardonically, "The decor—an American flag throw blanket, seasonal pumpkin pillows—invoked a certain 'Live, Laugh, Lie' homeyness."

On her desk, Guiducci observed a Stanley cup, a floral coffee mug, and a pink calendar with daily aphorisms. Below framed photographs of the president with Leavitt and her family sat a white orchid, a pink globe, and a Bible opened to Proverbs 4: "Get wisdom at all costs."
