Trump bizarrely claims nobody knows his Democratic rival’s last name (it’s Harris)

Following Thursday’s tsunami of absurd and false statements at his seemingly pointless “general news conference” at Mar-a-Lago, a free-wheeling Donald Trump bizarrely told supporters on Friday night that “nobody really knows” his opponent’s last name.

The reclusive former president emerged from hiding at his Palm Beach, Florida, estate and flew — with a slight mechanical interruption — to a rally in Bozeman, Montana, in support of Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, who is looking to unseat Democratic Senator Jon Tester.

On stage, Trump reeled through his standard list of grievances and disparaging remarks about America, adding some new material for the crowd.

“Kamala Harris. You know it’s interesting nobody really knows her last name,” he said.

“If you ask people, do you know what her last name is, nobody has any idea what it is,” continued the former president. “Harris. It’s like Harris.”

“I don’t know, how the hell did this happen?” he added, segueing into talking about Joe Biden exiting the presidential race.

The remarks come as Trump appears to be struggling to nail down a successful line of attack against the vice president as her rising popularity alongside her chosen running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has reversed polling trends in key battleground states.

Harris has benefitted nationally from a burst of enthusiasm among core Democratic constituencies, who coalesced quickly around her after President Biden withdrew from the campaign last month.

To Trump’s reported dismay, she has drawn big crowds this week alongside Walz in a tour of swing states that will likely decide the outcome of the election.

The former president has an obsession with crowd size as was evident at Thursday’s news conference when
