Trump's defense against the "weird" charges is to insist that his running mate is straight.
Donald Trump appeared to say that his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), isn’t weird because he’s “so straight.”
Trump was speaking at a town hall event in LaCross, Wisconsin, yesterday with former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii when he discussed how the Harris-Walz campaign has been calling Republicans – and especially Vance – “weird.”
“They picked this guy,” Trump said, referring to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who has been vocal about calling Vance and Trump weird. “He is weird! Right? I’m not weird, he’s weird.”
“No, he’s a weird guy, he’s a weird dude,” Trump continued. “You know, they come up with soundbites, they always have soundbites, and one of the things is that J.D. and I are weird.”
Then Trump defended himself and Vance from the weird charges, calling Vance “so straight” and a “top student.”
“This guy is so straight? J.D. is so… He’s doing a great job, smart, top student, great guy, he’s not weird and I’m not weird. I mean, we’re a lot of things, we’re not weird.”
It's honestly hilarious how badly being called "weird" gets under their skin.
Like, normal people are pretty weird. If someone called me weird, I'd be like "Yeah, true." But these guys are so out there that they feel a need to deny their own weirdness so that people can identify with them. It's just weird, TBH.
Vance looks like he’s sucked a bit of dick in his life (it’s the guyliner). Plus he was a jarhead and those guys are super gay (i’m a former soldier so i can say this with confidence). /s
People are assuming “straight” is a reference to his sexuality. I just assumed he meant “straight” as in what a criminal says when they’re referring to someone who isn’t breaking the law.
Ok Donny, you got this. All you have to do is come up with the most natural and least bizarre reason that Vance (ugh!) isn't weird. Just come up with it now and you can say it over and over again for the next two months no problem. Ok ok ok here comes the moment, what are you going to say?
"so straight..."
What happened? I wasn't paying attention. Covfefe. Hamberder.
I'm still flabbergasted at how badly this "weird" label has affected him and Vance. OTOH, my not being able to even conceive of how their minds work is reassuring. But I love how they can't get over it. I hope Tim can come up with another one.
It's just eating and eating at them, isn't it? Most especially donOLD.
He had nothing but #BidenSoOLD to run on before, and now he has to fall back on completely lame defenses of himself and the couch-fucker, while trying to attack Kamala by pointing out that she's black, a female, etc...the GOP are such losers for backing this dumbass.
The fact that you have to insist upon his heterosexuality is kinda suspicious. Like I didn't suspect he was gay but.. now I'm sure he only fucks male couches.
Edgy zoomers that discovered 4chan regularly call me a "tourist normie" for liking certain things (and of course, for not hating minorities), despite me often being in those fandoms from a lot longer, and them going on and on about "degenerates" and such.
No, if anything, you're the "tourist normie" for being the "last straight christian white male in the VTuber fandom", while I'm both bi, and not only were there from the days of Kizuna Ai instead of discovering it from HoloMyth, but also knew some "proto-VTubers" and interacted with them.
I would like to hear more about these other things. Rapists (Bergdorff Goodmans)? Pedophiles (Epstein)? Racists (1973)? Fascists ("day one")? Seems like "weird" might be the least of their issues.
Anyone that is "so" straight is like the guy at the gay bar that says he is "so" gay. We all know that guy is either a poser or just really hasn't even figured out their sexuality.
I think trump said straight to mean the opposite of weird, like he's straight and narrow, never makes a mistake, but he really put his foot in his mouth there huh? Well as far as the meme machine goes.
