“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.

“He is weird,” Trump continued, referring to Walz. “Did you ever see him go on the stage and go, like, crazy? Between his movement and her laugh, there’s a lot of crazy. I’d say a step further than weird, weird is a nice word by comparison.”

No, you!

That's all he's got, and it's killing him!

Yes, because laughing and being passionate about helping people is totally weird you guys!

Nah, it's not weird, it's crazy. Didn't you see what he said?

Because only a crazy person would be interested in helping anybody who isn't themself. That's why military service doesn't compute for him. He's incapable of understanding the entire concept of a selfless act. He's just a spoiled, shithead six-year-old in an old man's body. There is absolutely zero excuse for him to not know any better by now. Even when a crowd of secret service piled onto him to protect him when he was shot at, he still refused to be humbled into understanding the concept of sacrifice. There is not a single redeeming thing about that useless, worthless, non-contribution to the human experience except for maybe as a cautionary tale about how fascism could come here and disassemble democracy even in the stupidest ways imaginable, and we need to push more funding to education to defend against it. The fact that this will be a close election is humiliating to the entire goddamn species.

Agreed on all points

Would you like for me to present evidence of the opposite of your claim so you can scoff at it and say "do your research dude, that's the deep state?"

"She isn't a sad self-serving sack of shit, isn't that weird guys? ...Guys?"

This is why "weird" is working; because they're spending their time yelling about how normal they are, and Harris is spending her time talking about lowering grocery prices and increasing corporate tax rates.

And now the "weird" strategy pays off:

He sounds like a child on a playground.

Next up is "I'm rubber and you're glue"

Unfortunately "no you!" works for his target audience.
