There are plenty of terms to describe Orange and what has sadly become of the once grand old party... criminal, rapist, traitor, crap husband, crap father, crap human. Weird, as you note, Peter, can often have an amusing or quirky edge and there is nothing about the former president that is either of those things.
But "weird" is also a nearly entirely inoffensive term that encapsulates a whole range of oddity and worse. And there is no doubt that since 2015 when Bozo floated down an elevator and into electoral politics, our entire national discussion has become strange, abnormal, weird. I applaud Walz and the Democratic party for landing on a stand-in term that captures all that. The former president is weird. He's many other things too, but weird is a great catch all and we all know just what it means, in this context.
George, I agree. A person might be weird without being creepy; but Trump is both. A person might be weird without being a pathological liar; but Trump is both. Trump is a lot of things: a lying serial philanderer, serial fraudster, convicted felon, adjudged sexual abuser, and "malevolent narcissist" (in Peter's words, and in many others'.) Trump stands weirdly in his elevator shoes, he has a weird self image as a Rambo under his suits and his thick orange makeup, and he is weird in his phobias about sharks, batteries, windmills, etc., etc..
Trump is a weird, creepy, malevolent narcissist and so many other things that you'd need a seven-dimensional Venn diagram to illustrate them all.
Trump selected a weird, creepy mini-me to run with him.
Peter wasn't part of the focus group that approved the attack word "Weird". The weird is making 46 disappear after his dismissal; the weird is the elites installing a non-serious person as a candidate; the weird is installing a person who hasn't received a single citizen vote; the weird is hiding that person from public non-scripted, non teleprompter interviews; the weird is the left media outlets and surrogates using that tested word in unison as though having simultaneously received the script; the weird is the person adopting an accent when in the south; the weird is the media fawning over a person they made fun about 4 years ago. I think there are more but my phone fingers are tired. Thank you Peter for the topic.

And Harris selected a fellow normie.
Today is a good day.
He may not be weird but I am sure he hates being called weird. He is weird that way. :)
