One of the major storylines of this election has been that Democrats have finally figured out that ridiculing Donald Trump and calling him and the GOP “weird” is a very effective strategy. In this feature, we will periodically highlight some of the ways in which the former president and his supporters are providing new examples every day of just how odd they are.

If Republicans don’t want to be called “weird,” (and they clearly do not like that one bit), then maybe they should stop saying and doing weird things.
However, that seems to be a hurdle that is a bit too high for them.
Leading the way is, of course, Donald Trump himself.
In a rambling Truth Social post, the former president rolled out some of his regular nonsense, including that Joe Biden’s decision not to seek reelection is a “coup” and “election interference,” that Kamala Harris is a “Marxist” and that she will turn the US into a “Communist Country.”
However, what sets this post apart is Trump’s war on grammar.
This one, hilariously, ends like this: “THE DEMOCRATS ARE, ‘A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?’”
We have no idea what the comma is doing in that sentence. The question mark, however, seems to indicate that not even Trump is buying what he is selling.
Speaking of nonsense:
Republicans have not yet found an effective way of attacking the Democrats’ vice presidential candidate Tim Walz.
While they are ridiculously trying to make “Communist slob Timothy Walz” stick, they are shooting themselves in the foot by including clips showing how fun the Minnesota governor is.
Today, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson (R) tried something new.
In an interview with Fox News (who else), he tried to make it a thing that Walz got married on the “anniversary of Tiananmen Square.”
That’s a bit rich coming from an apologist for Russian President Vladimir Putin who happened to tie the knot on the anniversary of the day when Warsaw Pact countries, led by the Soviet Union, invaded Czechoslovakia to brutally end the Prague Spring.
And it wouldn’t be a day ending in “y” without some sort of half-baked Republican conspiracy theory. Today, the honors go to Vivek Ramaswamy, who said he was “a tad skeptical of how organic some of these ‘protests’ at the DNC really are. The Dems are desperate to recast Kamala Harris as a moderate, ‘centrist’ candidate, so the sudden criticism from the far left seems…oddly convenient.”

Maybe Vivek was asleep during the first part of the year, when the protests from the exact same people shut down college campuses across the country and resulted in arrest, injuries, and turmoil.
Last but not least, please check out Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter feed and then endeavor to find somebody in your life who loves you as much as Junior loves JD Vance!
The eldest Trump son was one of the main proponents of getting the Ohio senator on the GOP ticket, and, if you think that Vance will be replaced, then keep in mind that you’ll have to fight Don Jr. to make that happen.
