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.

    If “gay” was interpreted as “weird” by young Vance, then honestly he might be hiding some genuinely weird kinks. Like… Dude might actually be a couch fucker.

      I cannot imagine a funnier turn of events than real evidence coming out that he fucks couches. Like we’re just joking because he seems the type and it’s gross and weird but harmless and while I don’t like the idea of people fucking their own couch I’m fully of the opinion that banning it would be government overreach. So yeah, it would be hilarious if evidence of that came forward.

      Let me put it this way: If I went to JD’s house and he was doing the cooking, I’d look with deep suspicion at any sauce that was on the entree. I also wouldn’t leave him alone with my kids or dog.
