Donald Trump appeared to say that his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), isn’t weird because he’s “so straight.”
Trump was speaking at a town hall event in LaCross, Wisconsin, yesterday with former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii when he discussed how the Harris-Walz campaign has been calling Republicans – and especially Vance – “weird.”
“They picked this guy,” Trump said, referring to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who has been vocal about calling Vance and Trump weird. “He is weird! Right? I’m not weird, he’s weird.”
“No, he’s a weird guy, he’s a weird dude,” Trump continued. “You know, they come up with soundbites, they always have soundbites, and one of the things is that J.D. and I are weird.”
Then Trump defended himself and Vance from the weird charges, calling Vance “so straight” and a “top student.”
“This guy is so straight? J.D. is so… He’s doing a great job, smart, top student, great guy, he’s not weird and I’m not weird. I mean, we’re a lot of things, we’re not weird.”
Totally straight and not weird.
You’re telling me they insist Vance is heterosexual and that he didn’t fuck a couch?
He straight fucked them couches, does that count?
It was just a dainty Divan, perfectly straight. He is definitely not attracted to a robust manly Chesterfield.
Only female couches, so still straight and definitely not weird.
People are assuming “straight” is a reference to his sexuality. I just assumed he meant “straight” as in what a criminal says when they’re referring to someone who isn’t breaking the law.
Yeah, this feels like straight and narrow by an old man using old slang. Not that I doubt Trump being a raging homophobe, it’s just the other context clues in the sentence.
To be fair. It’s a sign of stupidity to pick that word choice when LGBT Rights are a big talking point right now
Super straights are the weirdest. Once knew a guy in highschool that claimed to be so straight he didn’t even touch his own dick.
Good logic.
Same reason I don’t fuck women. Most women are interested in guys, which is something they have in common with the gays. No thanks.
I…what? What the shit?
That guy has sucked SO MUCH DICK
‘Straight dudes’ give the best head with those deprived little mouths.
That might be the weirdest fuckin thing he’s said so far.
Also, that pic of Trump, Vance, and Johnson makes me think of the three stooges.
He appears to be referencing the ”straight and narrow” idiom. So “straight” as in “follows the rules,” not “heterosexual.”
That said, it’s funny to see how much “weird” gets under their skin.
Follows the rules?
Well, not the “don’t have sex with the sofa” rule.
Well yeah, follows the traditional, conservative rules that put men at the top of the hierarchy. These uppity women are just rule-breakers who dont know their place, they’d be much happier if they just shut up and follow our rules.
Maybe so but it’s still weird af
Also, donOLD doesn’t follow any rules and is as crooked as they get, and has been his whole life, so trying to claim that “JD” “Vance” is some kind of morally upright person by FLIP-FLOPPING on his never-donnie position and aligned himself with donnie is quite a stretch.
BTW, I’m so glad that TikTok video of “JD” “Vance” is going viral. Everyone needs to know just how much of a flip-flopper the couchfucker is.
That said, it’s funny to see how much “weird” gets under their skin.
I’m willing to bet that “creepy” or possibly “skeevy” might be a good followup.
That said, it’s funny to see how much “weird” gets under their skin.
Not that funny, really. Conservatism is all about defining normality and attacking any deviation from it. “Weird” is the very definition for not normal. It’s the antithesis of their meta value. Of course they’d hate it.
I personally don’t think he puts that much thought into what he says, just kinda gets into his own strange type of flow and goes for it.
He straight up fucked a couch.
It’s honestly hilarious how badly being called “weird” gets under their skin.
Like, normal people are pretty weird. If someone called me weird, I’d be like “Yeah, true.” But these guys are so out there that they feel a need to deny their own weirdness so that people can identify with them. It’s just weird, TBH.
Human existence in general is pretty weird. The “normal” state of affairs for humanity is being weird. We’re just all individually weird. So to deny that they’re weird, is actually kind of weird in and of itself.
There is “good weird” and “bad weird”. They are specifically being called bad weird. They aren’t the weird that is made of odd people, with personality quarks, that make them unusual, eccentric, and possibly interesting. They are fucking creeps.
Vance is the creepy kind of weird that wants to spy on women and track their periods.
Listen, I NEED to see your genitals. I NEED to know about your menstrual cycle, in detail. I NEED to know about your sex life. This isn’t weird, it isn’t creepy, this is about SAFETY and saving CHILDREN!
This ticket is steeped in a toxicity that wants to be masculine but is not, and a deeply rooted misogyny.
It’s like the quote attributed to Atwood says, that what men fear from women is that they will laugh at them. This “weird” label hits a little too close to that for them to handle.
It’s fantastic. And so obvious.
They honestly have spent their whole lives either wanting to define what is weird and/or associating with a set of people they think get to define what is weird.
It’s an obsession with the conservative brain, I think. You could tell who many of these people were when they were in kindergarten or first grade. They could not STAND any kind of deviation from what they (or their parents, etc.) thought was a “normal” thing. So they’d yell taunts at anyone eating “weird” food", or taking up “weird” hobbies, watching “weird” TV/movies, or looking to take up a “weird” employment track, or they went to a “weird” church (or not at all, or - gasp - were going to some other building that was not a xtian church) and so on.
They defined themselves this way. And to have this turned around on them all so suddenly and uniformly. To be fair, people like Seth Meyers have been calling donOLD and friends weird for a very long time. It’s just now the Democrats found some people with some goddamn spine and a platform to keep saying it and not apologizing for it. The Republicans ARE very weird. They spend their time obsessing over “murdered babies” (zygotes), where trans people poop, what gay men might be doing in the privacy of their own bedrooms, what religious doctrine other people may or may not follow, and so on. These are very deeply weird obsessions in a FREE country.
Free country means I and anyone else has freedom FROM their weird obsessions, including their little book club. I don’t ever have to GAF about what they say their Jehovah/Yahweh/Allah (all same thing) says, because I have freedom FROM religion, just as they have freedom OF religion and can choose to stay in the religion they were likely born into.
One of the key features of authoritarian follower personalities is that they’re desperate to be normal. Like, they’re terrified of the idea that they’re not just like everyone else despite the fact that they are big weirdos. People who are afraid of being weird, or who get weirdly judgemental about weirdness, is a big red flag for me, personally.
Yea. Their entire structure of “give me power to fix your problems” quickly falls apart if people start to wonder whether the solutions will be ones they can empathize with or not.
They’re sort of operating in this “I am your warrior” framework, making it seem like people are empowering one of their own, themselves, basically, to fix their own problems. That whole thing requires the chosen champion to be “one of them” though.
I’ve been called weird my whole life. The only ways to handle that are to betray your own nature, or to own it.
“Yeah, and the weirder I got, the more your mother liked it.”
It’s because that used to be their code word for gay, trans, queer (basically anybody that doesn’t fit in their view of society) before they decided that woke worked better.
They’ve been using weird as a soft-insult for a decades.
The fascists are being weird again.
Anyone that is “so” straight is like the guy at the gay bar that says he is “so” gay. We all know that guy is either a poser or just really hasn’t even figured out their sexuality.
Given his “tight” relationship with Theil, I have some questions.
Straight as a furniture 🛋️🥵
Straight for the furniture you mean.
Hide yo’ kids, hide yo’ women, and most defiantly hide yo’ couch!
Aren’t couches non-gendered anyway ?
I really question why Trump would choose a running mate that previously was one of his biggest critics and hated his guts.
He absolutely loves having someone kiss the ring who previously trash talked him. It’s like a fetish
It could also be a “look I converted this non believer” to try and gain more fanatics
Trumps a brat tamer?
No, he’s a narcissist.
Because he(Vance) is completely spineless and already agreed to help with his next coup attempt
I really won’t be shocked when it turns out that James Bowman (JD Vance’s real name… if he won’t respect my chosen name I won’t respect his) was faking being this fucking weird to tank Trump
Edgy zoomers that discovered 4chan regularly call me a “tourist normie” for liking certain things (and of course, for not hating minorities), despite me often being in those fandoms from a lot longer, and them going on and on about “degenerates” and such.
No, if anything, you’re the “tourist normie” for being the “last straight christian white male in the VTuber fandom”, while I’m both bi, and not only were there from the days of Kizuna Ai instead of discovering it from HoloMyth, but also knew some “proto-VTubers” and interacted with them.
What did I just read? … Ugh… I’m getting too old for this shit.
Cool story bro
