One Thing About Weird


 For my friends in England, you may have heard about the Democrats calling Trump 'weird.' Well, we all know he is. With his rampant election denying, his question if Kamala Harris is really black, his continued call for outsing the Georgia Republican Governor, his lying about crowd size, his attempt to overthrow the government on Jan 6th, and more.

Calling him out for any of these is met with a lying attack that his followers tend to believe, and everyone else ignores. But 'weird,' that one seems to drive him crazy. Not just because he is, but because it sums up many people's feelings. The word hits with independent voters, who aren't really involved yet. It hits with young voters. It seems to work.

AND it has the extra benefit of driving him nutso.

So his comeback recently is hilarious. Essentially, "No, I'm not. You are."

I love this.

And boy, does Trump hate it. He’s so defensive over the tag that he had a meltdown and attacked Democrats while appearing on a right-wing podcast Thursday.

“Well, they’re the weird ones,” he said. “That’s a weird deal going on there. They’re the weird ones. Nobody’s ever called me weird. I’m a lot of things, but weird I’m not. And I’m upfront. And he’s not either, I will tell you. JD is not at all. They are.”

In a desperate bid to slow the presumptive Democratic nominee’s momentum, Trump and the GOP have added the “I’m rubber and you’re glue” strategy to harping on Harris’ laugh and her “love of Venn diagrams and her call to ban plastic straws.” But it’s not working.
