What did Don(old) Trump do when Tim Walz called him and his sidekick weird? How did he defend himself?
He doubled and tripled down on the weirdness
Do immigrants steal and eat your pets? Don(old) saw it on television, so of course it must be true!
Do immigrants — who are largely Hispanic — steal Hispanic and African American jobs? Does a tsunami wash away villages while a bear shits in the woods? According to Trump, yes.
Someone on his team obviously trained him to say African American jobs instead of Black jobs. He still doesn’t get how saying that undocumented immigrants are taking the jobs of people of color in the U.S. is racist.
Is America the worst country in the world for violent crime? Apparently, even though the FBI reports the lowest crime rate and lowest violent crime rate in decades, including during the Trump’s reign.
Do Vance and Trump ever talk? Not according to Trump himself. Why bother discussing policy with your VP nominee? It’s much weirder to say contradictory things about the same policy topics and let people try to figure it out.
Does discriminating against Black people in housing you own mean nothing now because you did it decades ago, as you said in the debate with Kamala Harris, a Black woman? Does every racist thing in American history disappear because “someone” decides so? According to book banners, history re-writers, and Trump, yes.
Does the United States allow babies to be “aborted” after birth? That’s called infanticide and is against the law everywhere in this country, so that’s a no. Why won’t Trump let it go?? Because if he saw it on television, or some wing-nut told him it’s happening, by golly it must be happening. All proof to the contrary.
As to women, again he doubled and tripled down on the weirdness. As usual
Should women control their own bodies? Certainly not if Trump wants to grab them by a private part. Or insert his private part into one of theirs without consent. One of which he claims to do, and the other of which he was found guilty in civil court. So why should he want them to have any control over their bodies at all? He doesn’t.
Late night host Seth Meyers points out more weirdness:
“And as he gets more desperate, Trump is also … well, he’s just getting weirder,” Seth Meyers added before a clip of Trump at a rally over the weekend, in which he assured voters: “I have your back, I have your heart, and I have every other part of your body.”
He does have every part of women’s bodies these days, in more ways than one after he stacked the Supreme Court to end Roe v. Wade. At least he’s not lying about that. Or about this:
“I don’t like anybody that doesn’t like me,” Trump added during a rally. “I’ll be honest, when they don’t like me, I don’t like them. OK? Sounds childish… That’s the way it is. Call it a personality defect.”
Ya think? Yes, as a psychotherapist, I do call that a personalty defect.
And a lot of women don’t like you. 57% of women polled will vote for Kamala. Why that’s not 100% is beyond my comprehension.
Trump sees EVERY woman strictly through the male gaze, objectifying and sexualizing women, including women leaders of other countries, a former Secretary of State, and a sitting Vice-President. To Trump women are either sexual objects, or not worth thinking about or respecting because he sees them as unattractive — to him.
The other philanderers who’ve held the office of president at least respected women officials and judges in our country, and the leaders of other countries. Not this guy. He only admires male tyrants.
Is he quite possibly the only person on the planet who actively hates Taylor Swift? You betcha, and he’s proud of it. Posting it in all caps on Truth Social.
He didn’t always hate her. An article in Variety quotes him.
Trump once expressed admiration for Swift, at least for her appearance.
“I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented,”
he told Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh in the book “Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass.”
I’m sure his hatred of her now has nothing to do with the 406,000 people who registered to vote within 24 hours after the debate when she announced her endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Maybe he just doesn’t understand her music. Especially her lyric from the song Anti-Hero, “I’m The Problem.”
Since his handlers are harping on him to stop insulting women so boldly and disgustingly — and now he is running against another one — he’s had to come up with other avenues of attack.
In a speech at one of his rallies with his “millions and millions” of supporters, Trump referred to Vice-President Kamala Harris as a
“radical left Marxist Communist fascist,”
an ideological combination that is impossible.
It might be important for a person running for president, much less one who has been president, to know that communism and fascism are diametrically opposed, and that many wars for many decades have been fought about the differences.
I’ve voted in every presidential and congressional election since I was eighteen. Never in all my years of voting in a supposed democracy have I been forced to watch a candidate, much less a former president, who has been found guilty in civil court of rape, has been CONVICTED of 34 felonies, who believes there are “millions and millions” of immigrants coming across our borders to kill and rape us and eat our pets.
He attacked Kamala Harris for her “woman-made destruction.” Yeah, I don’t know what that is either, and I am a woman. Click the link if you want to know. I can’t even listen to him anymore.
He may think he’s in the same situation he was in with Hillary Clinton in 2016. He isn’t. Hillary, while also a strong and capable woman, didn’t confront Trump’s weirdness the way Kamala Harris does.
MEG KINNARD writes in APNews,
As staff aimed to prepare her for how she’d react if, during a debate, Trump stood over her as he did Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016, Harris reportedly quipped,
“‘I’d turn around and say, ‘Why are you being so weird? What’s wrong with you?’”
So, keep on doubling and tripling down DT. The weirder you get the more people outside your inner circle and dwindling supporters see who you really are.
Weird on dude.
