I’m honestly surprised they haven’t brought up her Canadian background.

By referencing her Canadian background, they can subtly frame her as being “exotic” and “foreign” and “liberal” in a way that doesn’t sound racist (but which would provably still resonate with racists).

Also, “Canadian Kamala” has good alliteration. I could imagine Trump using it.

Edit: Oh, “Canada Kamala” sounds even better.

First of all, please don't give them any ideas.

Second of all, I genuinely think Canadian Kamala might be too long for Trump and his followers. A good alliteration sure, but I could more see him using something simpler like Killer Kamala, after finding (or more honestly making up) a reason to use it.

Hmm, that could work, although it might not be clear enough for Trumpons.

Frankly, I don't know if Trump could come up with that on his own and let's face it, it has to be his own idea.
