Donald Trump still doesn’t have a comeback to Kamala Harris calling him weird.
After stewing in Tim Walz’s “weird” label for several weeks, Donald Trump has finally cooked up a comeback: No, you.
“You know, he said we’re weird,” Trump told a small crowd in York, Pennsylvania, on Monday during an event that was supposed to focus on the economy. “That J.D. and I are weird. I think we’re extremely normal people.”
Trump: I'm rubber, and you're glue, and the things you say bounce off of me because ALL YOUR TEMPERAMENTS ARE TRASH AND I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT'S CALM!!!
Lester: Mr. Trump, your head is now literally a giant red steam whistle.
Trump: ... My microphone isn't working.
Im so normal they say I’m so - and then the doctor, wonderful doctor he said “Sir, it’s a miracle! There are so many un-normal” - we call them un-normal now you know - it’s very terrible what they’re doing. He came up to me, tears in his eyes and says “you’re so normal we’ve never seen anyone more normal”. And could you believe it, Crooked Joe is not normal. He’s un-normal
And not the good kind of weird that wears the term as a badge of honor, but the bad kind of weird that verges on creepy with how much it insists that it isn't weird.
"Weird" feels like it'd only an insult if you're obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you're allowed to exist in society.
Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they're kinda weird, and they're that upset about it... maybe a red flag?
Well said. Everyone is at least a little weird, and it's pretty relatable feeling. But when your whole lifestyle is based around conformity and hatred of non conformers, it becomes a grave insult.
It's weird how they are impacted so strongly by weird. It was this weak insult the ended up being so incredibly based and true that it ended up sticking despite anyone's aversion. They owned the word the second it was used against them, but it wasn't a voluntary ownership... They just keep railing against it like morons, digging themselves deeper and deeper.
It's simple really, their entire worldview relies on them being the "normal" ones and the "others" being the ones they make fun of.
Calling them weird forces them to think about it, just for a second, and that second of thought short circuits them just long enough for it to get through and it makes them feel terrible. They immediately drive it away of course, but there was that brief moment of clarity before they shoved it back down.
“We’re like you, we’re exactly like you,” the Epstein-socializing, family-separating, woman-hating, millionaire former reality TV star and convicted felon said about himself and his vice presidential pick, J.D. Vance, who became the target of an online joke that he had screwed a couch.
You know the thing that gets him the most is millionaire
It really got under his skin. It's got him obsessively denying it at every speech, continuously drawing attention to it in a not at all weird way. He's lost it. When you're a pedophile and a rapist trying to pretend you're a good christian, maybe being called weird sets off alarm bells that the facade might be slipping?
