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.”

I love that the weird label is the one that really hit the Republicans hard.

Fucking weirdos.

It should also be mentioned that it is weird that being called “weird” gets under their skin so much

Yeah like someone called me weird, or even better queer, I would thank them for the complement. Why yes, I am somewhat unusual!

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.

Because they don’t understand properly descriptive terms like “fascist”.

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.

The Doctors, some say the best Doctors, have said that I’m above average in being this normal; in fact it is abnormal to be this normal, that’s what they say and they are some of the best normal type of Doctors

It’s amazing how much this has gotten inside his head.

This and the couches.

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?

The only thing that got inside his head more than the couches (and the “weird” moniker) is Vance getting into the couches.

“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
