Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimarata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival.
Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married.
Trump misspelled Nimarata as “Nimrada” as he attacked her in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social.

The problem is the intent behind using her Indian name is SPECIFICALLY to delegitimize her in front of her racist voters.
Trump’s playing a dirty game here because he’s gone just far enough and has plausible deniability like " what? I just said her real name!"
But there is literally no other purpose for him using her name but to make her voters like her less because they are that type of people.
.
He didn’t misspell her name, he was making a portmanteau with “Nimarata” and “Nimrod” because it’s always playground insults with this guy
Random little-known fact: “Nimrod” only became an insult due to a Daffy Duck cartoon. Nimrod was a mythical hunter. Daffy happens to sarcastically call Elmer “Nimrod” as just a reference. People started interpreting it as an insult, or word for someone stupid.
You know it’s funny, I was about to correct you and say Bugs made the joke, not Daffy, but I looked it up.
It’s widely reported that during a cartoon short titled “A Wild Hare,” a wise-cracking rabbit named Bugs Bunny called his nemesis Elmer Fudd a “poor little nimrod,” a sarcastic reference to Fudd’s skills as a hunter. Whether Bugs actually said it or it was Daffy Duck who called Fudd a “nimrod” is debatable. Bugs would get credit (it was after all a Bugs Bunny cartoon).
More reading on that for anyone interested.
