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.”

      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.

          I can’t wait for the speech where they insist they’re quite normal fascists thank you. The biggest fascists. Everyone says they’ve never met a bigger 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.

    “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

    I don’t want to vote for a ‘normal guy.’ I’m all about the unapologetically awkward, childless cat-ladies this cycle.

    Don’t be weird about who you are. Vote anyway.

    I’m like the normalest person you’ve ever met. In fact I did a normalcy test and I passed it with flying colours.

      Ah that’s funny, I thought leaders were supposed to be extraordinary. Why would we want to elect a regular Joe to office?

        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

      It was so strange, the most normal the guy ever saw. Outrageously normal he said. Almost unusually normal.

    Pro tip, before you tell the press that you’re not weird, push the rotting breakfast sausages and cereal out of frame.

    When you have to tell people you are “normal”, it’s a big tell that you are, WEIRD, not normal.

      “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?
