Trump hates weird. He spent like six minutes whining about being called weird in his last 'press conference'
It is so under their skin.
Lol thier campaign is turning into "don't call us weird".
"We're not weird, you're weird!!!!" -sobbing
Oh sorry, it'd be "your weird"
"I'm not weird, you're weird! You didn't even kiss your wife in front of thousands of people!"
Yeah but this is still hilarious. This is like something Lyndon Johnson would say. Then I assume he would whip out his massive hog. I don't know, I wasn't around in the 60s.
Should have workshopped it a little longer...almost made it to Yawnald Dump
I mean, its not like Biden came up with the nickname
Ah, Biden's tapping into Democrat Boomer Facebook memes from 2014...
If he can swing the olds while kamala and walz work the young, thats party unity right there.
Better than Chris Christie who really thought he did something when he called him Donald Duck
Donald Duck, Daffey Duck, and Sylvester the Cat are all bangers after the Musk interview

I am glad Joe dropped out. I can hardly watch him. Harris is really doing a great job.
It's definitely better to have the possibility that one of the candidates can speak a complete sentence.
“Oh gosh, Grandpa Joe! Saying such things!
ushers him off the stage
Anyway, did you see that weird Trump speech with the things on the table?! What was that?!”
Joe don't give a shit no more. Fun stuff.
See this is why everybody with a brain said that he should lean harder into Dark Brandon. Fortunately Harris and Vance are leaning into making fun of Trump and his parasitic sociopathic comrades because it's basically the only weapon that work against them.
You mean Walz I suppose?
Are we sure Vance isn't working for the Democrats to sabotage Trump? /S
He likes to cross dress, had trans friends, has an "ethnic" wife, lived in San Francisco for years, went to Yale, spends lots of time with California elites, has luxury tastes in furniture.
You may be onto something. They better look out for that secret "demon rat."

As much as I would like America to "Dump Trump" (that already sounds better than Donald Dump), this line from Biden lands about as well as "Kamabla".
The name calling, yes I agree. But the fact that he pretended to forget like "what's his face I don't care to remember the name of" landed better than Trump's random name calling.
Biden's last zinger of "he has the morals of an alley cat" landed so well he wanted another bite at the apple.
Donald Dump is hilarious, but not a elegant attack like calling him 'weird'. The weird attack is beautiful, and actually works wonders with heart-brained conservatives.
Biden has always been a shit talker. I think this is a one off insult.
Old man Donald had a vice. J.D.J.D.Vance. With a cushion here and a cushion there. Here a cush, there a push. Every where a cushpush. Old man Donald had a vice. J.D.J.D.Vance.
Fuckin got him dude
lol, GOTTEM
BOOM ROASTED
Seriously though... can we stop with this dumb shit?
Biden is feeling spicy today.
Biden has definitely been spicier since stepping aside and I love it. A lot of this stuff probably wouldn’t have worked as a nominee, but is great as the sitting president endorsing his vp.
Listen, I like Biden, and I’m voting Harris.
BUT, did Biden “rip trump” or literally just forget his name here? It kinda could be either at this point.
I mean he calls him "Donald dump", it's unlikely he forgot it by a letter.
He obviously didn't forget his name lmao he's old but he's not gone the way Trump is

Honestly I'm not for this. There are so many valid ways to attack Trump and simply name calling is unnecessary and stooping to their level.
Not even a good name.
Cuz the high road has worked so well so far.
