To paraphrase Tywin Lannister:

Any man who must say 'I am extremely normal' is not extremely normal at all.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 82 points 3 months ago (8 children)

What does "extremely normal" even mean?

"You people, you're normal. Me? I'm not just normal, I'm extremely normal!"

That's definitely not something only someone very weird would say or anything. It sounds like the sort of thing any extremely normal flesh-covered hairless hominid like myself would say.

[–] brianary@startrek.website 23 points 3 months ago

It's like "extra medium".

Trump: "I know words. I have the best words."

Fully orthogonal to all axes.

Seven red lines, all of them strictly perpendicular, some with green ink and some with transparent ink.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

Easy, when you're an expert.

[–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

It seems like he doesn't know the meaning of "extremely" or "normal" here. Or maybe both? "Extremely normal" is an oxymoron, and he's just a regular moron.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 months ago

Its like that time zuck said he was human only creepy and weird in a totally different way

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Extremely normal. He's at the top of the IQ bell curve. Perfect 100.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

It's a Trump reflex. He just HAS to say, "nobody is as [ ] as I am."

[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

"You wouldn't believe how unremarkable I am!"

“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!

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Lookorex@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

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

[–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Lookorex@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed on all points

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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?"

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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"

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kind of a weird thing to say.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

To paraphrase something he said in 2016, "No weird! No weird! They're weird!"

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

What a strange tiny handed old man and JDV the lazyboy wonder.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If I was one of his advisors, I would have a really difficult time not fucking with him. "Normal people wank their cock when giving speeches to assert their dominance."

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

......Today on news@10! Indicted felon and Criminal at large, Trump lowered his pants while giving a speech. Trisha Onakawa gets to the bottom of this story...

Trisha: ...and that's when it happened he lowered his pants like a stripper, let's talk to one of the tens of spectators who became witnesses in this case, John, tell us what you saw...

John Mendes (a family farmer from Minnesota who still loves beans and stake): yeah, he pulls down his pants and every one, I mean every one was hoping to see his big fat cock, but no one could see it. I mean we looked around using binoculars. Several of us who brought binoculars were focused around the area where one would expect a penis but none of us found it. Bets were made and lost. It was just more smooth yellow skin with several flaps and many many wrinkles. To this day we look through the hundreds of photos of these wrinkles trying unsuccessfully to locate his penis.

Trisha, back to you at the Netflix yoga studio!

"No you. Times infinity! " - Donald Trump

Harris is really fucking with his 3 remaining rotting neurons.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Because his audience thinks all political speeches are garbled nonsense and statements like this make sense.

It's not about taxes or personal liberties it's about "he's normal? I'm normal!" a bunch of actual morons that have weaponized their stupidity.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He got the highest score on a senility test- he recognized elephant, clock, and tree but did have some trouble with a picture of baron.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I'm not sure if this is satire or reality.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

He's so old, he's got yellow horse teeth.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yer man looking unusually orange, even for him tbh

[–] don@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

That’s one weird fucking idiot.

[–] occhionaut@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Trump is fucked.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah Trump and the GQP are weird, but that article was a real stretch.
