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.

it's not a bad thing to be weird you weirdos.

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.

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.
