A new video debuted Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention highlights a sore point that is increasingly affecting Donald Trump: his idiosyncrasies.
Democratic politicians and others on the left have taken to describing Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), as “odd.”
And the former president doesn't like that at all. He has repeatedly denied in recent weeks that he is queer.
The new clip is likely to further inflame him, calling him not only weird, but dangerous:
The “strange” attacks bother Trump so much that he brings them up again and again in interviews and at meetings.
“She actually called me ‘weird,’” he said last week of Vice President Kamala Harris. “And she called JD and I ‘weird.’ He’s not weird, he was a great student at Yale.”
At another event earlier this month, he said he and Vance are not weird, but rather “really solid people” and “the opposite of weird.”
Harris' running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said last month that he uses the label “weird” for Trump and other figures on the right because it takes away their power to sow fear.
“Fascists rely on fear,” he said. “But we are not afraid of strangers. We are a little bit wary, but we are not afraid.”
