I’m sure you’ve read dozens of pieces now about how Trump was completely taken by surprise by the exit of Joe Biden from the presidential race. His replacement, Kamala Harris, has presented a new set of difficulties for Trump to face.

That’s clearly been very frustrating for him.

But you’d think he’d be just a little more professional than he’s been, or is being. It’s like amateur hour, the way Trump is trying out new avenues of attack daily on Harris and her running mate.

In fact, after Tim Walz was selected, Harris’ popularity enjoyed a massive surge.

All of this has to be making the little vein in the middle of Donald’s forehead bulge. He can’t seem to settle on a name to call her. So now he’s trying to say nobody even knows her name.

After watching Kamala and Walz do rally after rally for huge crowds in a number of swing states while he paraded through some flyovers he was already going to win, Trump landed in another one — Montana.

At his Montana rally, it was just more of the same: Complaining about unfair media coverage, lies about Kamala’s track record, and reminding everyone that he took a bullet in the ear (that left no scar).

But the notable exception at this rally — which took him a while to get to, after a mechanical failure in his plane — was that he tried to claim Kamala was basically unknown.

If that sounds weird, it’s because it’s super freaking weird. Like, who thinks that? Who honestly believes that anyone who’s going to vote in this election doesn’t know who the candidates are by now?

In a predictably crazy speech, Trump said “Kamala Harris. You know, it’s interesting, nobody really knows her last name. If you ask people, do you know what her last name is, nobody has any idea what it is. Harris. It’s like Harris. I don’t know, how the hell did this happen?”

Citation needed, buddy, because you messed up the country so badly that people would remember your opponent’s name if it was Dolly Alapopskalios.

Watch Trump try his hand at not sounding crazy (and failing):
