Trump Insists He’s “Extremely Normal” During Incredibly Weird Speech - Lemmy.World

Donald Trump still doesn’t have a comeback to Kamala Harris calling him weird. After stewing in Tim Walz’s “weird” label for several weeks, Donald Trump has finally cooked up a comeback: No, you. “You know, he said we’re weird,” Trump told a small crowd in York, Pennsylvania, on Monday during an event that was supposed to focus on the economy. “That J.D. and I are weird. I think we’re extremely normal people.”

The New Republic
Pro-tip: normal people don’t have to go around claiming to be normal.
But he isn’t just normal he is extremely normal.
Abnormally normal
The Doctors, some say the best Doctors, have said that I’m above average in being this normal; in fact it is abnormal to be this normal, that’s what they say and they are some of the best normal type of Doctors
You got me. This is good. Some say it’s the best one.
Definitely a very stable genius.
Calling yourself completely normal is very weird
The illusive size extra medium.

It’s amazing how much this has gotten inside his head.

This and the couches.

The only thing that got inside his head more than the couches (and the weird moniker) is Vance getting into the couches.
Nobody is ever going to see Vance sitting on a couch again and not immediately think “couchfucker
And I love that for him.

He’s gonna have to sit on wooden chairs for the rest of his life, if he wants any one to take him seriously.

Can’t even have a seat cushion.

Every time I see JD Vance with his pursed little mouth and heavily lined eyes I think, “there’s a man who’d enjoy sitting on some wood” so I don’t think it’d help him very much.
Cheap plastic cafeteria chairs?
Yeah, plastic would probably be the safest. At least it could just be pressure washed if he can’t control himself.
It really got under his skin. It’s got him obsessively denying it at every speech, continuously drawing attention to it in a not at all weird way. He’s lost it. When you’re a pedophile and a rapist trying to pretend you’re a good christian, maybe being called weird sets off alarm bells that the facade might be slipping?

I love that the weird label is the one that really hit the Republicans hard.

Fucking weirdos.

It should also be mentioned that it is weird that being called “weird” gets under their skin so much
Yeah like someone called me weird, or even better queer, I would thank them for the complement. Why yes, I am somewhat unusual!
Except Republicans are really, really creepy weird.
Because they don’t understand properly descriptive terms like “fascist”.
“Trump & Vance, the weird fascists”
I can’t wait for the speech where they insist they’re quite normal fascists thank you. The biggest fascists. Everyone says they’ve never met a bigger fascist
“Hey, we’re not weird!”

It’s simple really, their entire worldview relies on them being the “normal” ones and the “others” being the ones they make fun of.

Calling them weird forces them to think about it, just for a second, and that second of thought short circuits them just long enough for it to get through and it makes them feel terrible. They immediately drive it away of course, but there was that brief moment of clarity before they shoved it back down.

It’s weird how they are impacted so strongly by weird. It was this weak insult the ended up being so incredibly based and true that it ended up sticking despite anyone’s aversion. They owned the word the second it was used against them, but it wasn’t a voluntary ownership… They just keep railing against it like morons, digging themselves deeper and deeper.
Weird ass POS.

We should string together all the criticisms that have really cut him into one mega criticism.

He’s a small-handed, vulgar, uncouth weirdo who sucks at golf.

Not only is he the most humble, he’s also extremely normal.
He is actually weirdly normal. Like so ultra normal, he’s quite weird that way.
Think you’re really righteous? Think you’re pure in heart? Well, I know I’m a million times as humble normal as thou art

“Any man who must say, ‘I am normal,’ is not a normal man.”

The best bit of the article is when he somewhat weirdly claimed to not know who President Trump was.
Not just normal. Normal to the X-X-Xtreme! (Cue 90’s guitar riff)
Pro tip, before you tell the press that you’re not weird, push the rotting breakfast sausages and cereal out of frame.
Nothing the least bit weird about this bunch of maga-ty dumbasses. No sirree.
Lmao I fucking LOVE that journalists and editors everywhere are taking the “weird” thing and running with it.
and “small crown!”

Give it a few years, and the various factions of the creepy weirdo party:

He spent hours in the shower coming up with tbis comeback, and it’s not even good
Am too, but YOU are!

“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.

You know the thing that gets him the most is millionaire

"You know, he said we’re weird,” Trump told a small crowd in York, Pennsylvania

Trump is a crowd size queen

Very criminal, very weird
The best normal. what a weird throwback.
And I am extremely weird… and proud.

“Weird” feels like it’d only an insult if you’re obsessed with conformity or you believe there should be in (normal) and out (weird) groups that dictate how you’re allowed to exist in society.

Makes the word a pretty good litmus test, too. If you tell someone they’re kinda weird, and they’re that upset about it… maybe a red flag?

Well said. Everyone is at least a little weird, and it’s pretty relatable feeling. But when your whole lifestyle is based around conformity and hatred of non conformers, it becomes a grave insult.
Thank you for opening my eyes, guys.
We’re bigly normal!
When you have to tell people you are “normal”, it’s a big tell that you are, WEIRD, not normal.
And not the good kind of weird that wears the term as a badge of honor, but the bad kind of weird that verges on creepy with how much it insists that it isn’t weird.
