Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, has adopted the term "weird" to characterize convicted felon and ex-President Donald Trump, following Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's lead in describing them as "just weird". The past eight years under Trump's influence have been marked by what many Americans view as bizarre behavior, from election lies to conspiracy theories and the denial of facts.

The rise of Trumpism has ushered in a chaotic era filled with strange occurrences such as Rudy Giuliani's news conference at a landscaping business and the infamous QAnon Shaman at the U.S. Capitol attack. Trump, surrounded by a cohort of unusual individuals, has been known for his nonsensical rants and peculiar statements, prompting many to label him and his allies as "weird".

In response to these anomalies, Democratic leaders have not shied away from labeling Trump and his followers as strange. Harris and other Democrats have wasted no time in calling out the former president's behavior, emphasizing the need to address the toxic politics and misinformation spread by Trump and his supporters.

The move to brand Trump and his allies as "weird" signifies a deliberate effort by Democrats to identify and target the peculiar characters who have contributed to the current political climate. By using this label, Harris and her colleagues aim to convey a clear message to Trump and his Republican allies: "Enough. You all are really freakin' weird."
