In a recent interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, former President Donald Trump turned the tables on his critics, branding Vice President Kamala Harris as the “weird” one in the 2024 presidential race.
This move comes as Democrats used the same term against Trump and his running mate, JD Vance. During the interview, which aired on Tuesday, Trump didn’t hold back.
“You know who’s plain weird? She is plain weird,” he said. “She is a weird person. Look at her past. Look at what she does. And look at what she used to say about herself. She became a totally different person, only for political purposes.”
Trump also took aim at Harris for including her pronouns—she/her—in her social media profiles, suggesting it was an odd move.
When Ingraham asked Trump about his own pronouns, he replied, “I don’t want pronouns,” to which Ingraham responded, “So you’re fluid.” Trump dismissed the concept, adding, “Nobody even knows what that means. They’re going crazy.”
In a segment aired the previous night, Trump defended his running mate, Senator JD Vance, against accusations of being weird.
He dismissed Democrats’ claims, despite Vance’s controversial comments about women and voting. Notably, Vance had previously described childless people as “sociopaths” and “psychotic,” statements that have resurfaced and added fuel to the Democrats’ critique.
The Democratic campaign hasn’t relented in using “weird” to describe Trump and Vance. At a campaign rally in Atlanta on Tuesday, Vice President Harris asked the crowd, “Don’t you find some of their stuff to be just plain weird?”
The back-and-forth name-calling underscores the intensifying rhetoric as both sides ramp up their campaigns. While Democrats continue to label Trump and Vance as “weird,” Trump’s counterattack on Harris shows he’s willing to adopt and repurpose their strategies.
