Trump Insists That He and His Weird VP Pick J.D. Vance Are 'Not Weird'
2 years ago by MicroWave to c/politics
Dems' "weird" attacks are getting under Trump's skin. "Of course he's upset," a source told Rolling Stone
As Democrats continue their rhetorical strategy of trash-talking Donald Trump, his running mate J.D. Vance, and other “weird” and “creepy” conservative policymakers attempting to thrust the country into the dark ages, the former president has become increasingly furious at the messaging overtaking media outlets and internet memes.
During a Thursday interview with conservative radio host Clay Travis, Trump attempted to reverse the criticism and said that Democrats were “the weird ones.” He insisted, “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. J.D. is not at all. They are.”
“We’re not weird people,” Trump added. “We’re we’re actually just the opposite.
Boomers simply can't handle criticism, especially when it comes from people they openly disdain like minorities, LGBTQ or young people. They can't handle it. But yeah, being called weird seems to tap into some deep insecurity they have. Nooo, I'm the norm! I'm supposed to be the default experience. You can't call us weird!
I think this particular jab hits home for Trump a lot harder than anyone else due to the narcissism. It may also apply to conservatives in general but I don't think it's necessarily a widely applicable generalization.
Not weird at all. Totally normal human.
He looks like he just witnessed a nuclear weapon go off at close range. Fucking weirdo.
And here I always considered him having just taken his face out of the loot bag the dye-pak just went off in.
I haven't felt this way since metal gear solid, where to beat psycho mantis, you simply had to remove your controller from the player one port and put it into player two for the fight. In both cases, the solution is so absurd and simple, it's crazy it actually works.
SSSOOOOO YOU THINK THE GOP CANDIDATES ARE "WEIRRRRD" DO YOU?!
I always got
"So, you like Suikoden?"
"You like Castlevania, don't you?"
“That was some weird shit.”

I didn't know this lmao
Read the article and you would
Edit (after numerous downvotes): Please read OP’s article to learn that George W Bush said this.
Maybe. My point was that the quote you gave was in the article already. Maybe that’s stupid to you.
Edit: the quote was in OP’s article. Please read that article.
It's so perfect. Knowing this feels like $6000 of therapy

From someone who isn't from the Anglo world, it's fucking weird how you guys never use your given name and you can use your preferred name on official paper, it also made my old job a freaking pain.
Yes, because he legally changed it. He was born James Donald Bowman and was later James David Hamel before the James David Vance he is today.
There has to be something he's running away from. That's weird! Two name changes? I look at my name and don't think twice about it. I could be called Doughnut Trump and probably live out my life. I wouldn't go ask a judge to please change my name to Jason Markonovic and then then have a change of heart and call my self Duke Salamantis. The fact that he did that is just weird and he should come forward and explain it.
From what I read, the first time was because Donald Bowman was his birth father's name. When his mother remarried, he took a random D name to keep the same initial and his stepfather's last name. Finally, he chose Vance in honor of his grandmother who raised him. He has changed personalities wildly over the years as well. Borderline Personality Disorder. perhaps?
What was the couch fucker born with a tatoo of its name on its back?
The ex-president has grumbled that it makes no sense to him that any “weird” attacks on Vance would stick in the public consciousness, not when Harris has, for instance, “that laugh.”
Yeah, because he doesn't see how goddamn weird Vance is with his obsession with child birth and childless women. He sounds like he came from an alternate dimension where the Handmaids Tale was real. It's creepy as hell.
Meanwhile, a simple laugh has Trump spooked. He can't understand a normal laugh. It's super weird.
I don't make monkeys, I train them
Honestly, I was concerned he was going to proudly proclaim his weirdness and start selling a bumper sticker. Weird would be over in a day or two.
Instead, it looks like he’s grabbed a shovel and has started digging that hole deeper.
Wait... JD Vance? The guy who fucked that couch? Jesus Christ... He's defending the couch fucker. Lol. What a clown.
The makeup was a giveaway, I guess... That weird fucker looks orange he's got so much on. Anyone else know a orange man? Seriously. Anyone else?
...anyone?
I saw some orange men in a movie once about a candy factory.
What a weirdo!
Well, if people get tired of saying weird, we've got some alternatives: odd, abnormal, unusual, freak, 
That’s such a weird thing for him to say.
an actual "no u" what a child
I think it's hilarious because there is a good segment of the population that grew up in the 90s whose parents would be like... "George Michael is 'weird'... Melissa Etheridge is 'weird'"
So now, their euphemism for a non-heterosexual person has been turned around on them and that's great. Their hate and non-acceptance is now what is "weird"
If they want to downplay the weirdness they should kiss on stage.
Trump does look like a wrinkly couch...
Weird
I have an idea; if they find a really beat-up leather couch and put a shitty blonde wig on it they can both get their rocks off. Vance because he will fuck anything leather on 4 legs and trump because it would look like his troglodyte daughter he eye-fucks at every occasion.
Really pull the team together, they could probably stream it on OANN or newsmax and help build up some PAC funds to boot.
Nobody’s ever called me weird.
That's what happens if you surround yourself with spineless yes-men. Now you hear real men and women say the truth. And they call you and your mates "weird" and "creepy" just because you are!
I'd like to hear a list of 10 things he thinks are normal.
You can be both! They're also losers, and...
Drumph is definitely creepy. Lil' Jimmy is still working on it; obscenely weird, but still just weird.
Weirdo says what?
Yeah, it's weird to fuck a couch and it's weirder to lust after your daughter.
Isn't it weird how he doesn't want the Epstein files made public?
That sounds like something a weirdo would say. If you have to talk about how "not weird" you are, that makes you weird. A real "non-weird" person would accept how weird just being a human being in general is and lean into it. He should just come out and admit how weird he really is, that wouldn't be weird.
it's not a bad thing to be weird you weirdos.
Republicans wearing an ear patch....I fucked a couch once! Yeah, mee too!
I'm sorry but his existence is weird in and of itself. Is it not weird for a MFer to be orange? A fat POS who leans in unnatural ways is weird, yeah? A supposedly rich man who can't buy a suit that fits right, that's weird, right? And that's before mentioning his neck-vagina.

How weird that they're so weird about being called "weird".
But seriously, it seems like Republicans need to think they're in the majority. "Silent majority" and all that BS. Calling them "weird" makes them confront how much of an outlier they are. Maybe that's part of the source of their deep insecurity about being called "weird." Maybe also just the desire to not feel like the unpopular kids in highschool.
