- Harris’ team has repeatedly called Trump “weird”
- He attempted to direct the attack toward Harris and mocked her use of she/her pronouns.
Former President Donald Trump resorted to his trusty “I’m rubber, you’re glue” defense after Harris’ campaign repeatedly branded him weird, calling the vice president a “weird person.”
Trump made the comments In an interview with Laura Ingraham on Fox News, where he repeatedly attacked Kamala Harris.
“Listen, this is all a scam. ‘Just weird.’ You know who’s just weird? She’s just weird,” Trump told host Ingraham Angle on his show.
“He’s a strange person. Look at his past. Look at what he does.”
He then moved on to innuendo, at a time when his team is focused on some of the left-leaning policy positions from his 2020 campaign that Harris has been scrapping.
“And look at what she used to say about herself, and I’m not going to go into details, what she used to say and who she was compared to, what she said starting in 2016. She became a totally different person. Just for political reasons,” Trump said.

Democrats have been turning to the “bizarre” attack, which was first launched by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a leading contender as a potential Harris running mate.
Her anger over the “bizarre” attack came after Trump lashed out at the Russia investigation during his tenure in the White House.
Trump made the comments to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
“And look what she used to say about herself, and I’m not going to go into details, what she used to say and who she was compared to,” Trump said, without further explanation.
“Look what they do is take audio clips,” Trump said. saying“Russia, Russia, Russia. He’s a paid associate of Putin! These people are crazy,” Trump said.
After criticizing the Russia investigation, Trump began criticizing Joe Biden’s golf game.
“And everything about them, look at Biden. He said he would challenge me to golf. I’m a very good golfer. He’s a terrible golfer. This guy can’t hit a ball 30 yards,” Trump said.
He then boasted about hitting a ‘nice 7-iron right off the hole’ on his golf course.
Trump also attacked Biden again during a radio interview on Tuesday, where he claimed that Harris “doesn’t like Jews” despite being married to Doug Emhoff, who is Jewish.
Democrats’ “bizarre” attacks on Trump are themselves a turnaround from some of the major campaign themes President Biden was emphasizing as he prepared to be the party’s nominee, calling Trump a threat to democracy itself and repeatedly criticizing him for whipping up his supporters ahead of Jan. 6.
Democrats have been launching attacks like this in interviews and online attacks against Trump and his running mate JD Vance, using them to rebut his criticism of “childless” leaders who he says are not sufficiently involved in the country.
Walz called Trump and Vance “just weird” in an interview last week.
Harris then used the attack at a fundraiser, saying Trump’s “wild lies about my record and some of the things he and his running mate are saying, it’s just bizarre.”
Harris also asked Trump questions about the pronouns Harris uses to label herself, which she posts on her campaign trail. Account X.
“Kamala Harris, in her Twitter bio, something I had never noticed until this morning, indicates that her pronouns are she/her,” Ingraham said, asking her interviewee, “What are your pronouns?”
“I don’t have… I don’t want pronouns,” Trump responded. “I don’t want pronouns, I saw that.”
“So, are you fluid?” he asked, using a gender term.
“Nobody even knows what that means,” Trump said.
