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.

No homo. No homo. You’re homo.
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.
Maybe so but it’s still weird af

I’m willing to bet that “creepy” or possibly “skeevy” might be a good followup.

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.
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.
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.
In Trump’s head, there’s a clump of brain cells the size of a grain of rice that’s a Markov generator for bullshit. Trump has no interior monologue as we know it, and no thoughts as such. Just a random BS module and a market-testing one, to correct the BS weightings. The rest of the interior landscape is anxiety, self-loathing, greed and, more than anything, complete and utter desolation.
Follows the rules?
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.
Well, not the “don’t have sex with the sofa” rule.
I’ll bet he identifies with that old Plastic Bertrand song Ça Plane Pour Moi: “I am the King of the divan!”
Though I doubt if the divan’s at all impressed.
Well, I guess we’re about a week away from Vance having a gay affair scandal.
sigh please don’t be with anyone I know…
In his book he told his grandma he thought he was gay and she asked him if he likes “sucking dicks”, and he said “no”, so she told him he wasn’t gay.
So no doubt he has some repressed feelings.
Edit - This of course could have been when he discovered he was into couches and dolphin porn.
“I’ll never forget the time I convinced myself that I was gay. I was eight or nine, maybe younger, and I stumbled upon a broadcast by some fire-and-brimstone preacher. The man spoke about the evils of homosexuals, how they had infiltrated our society, and how they were all destined for hell absent some serious repenting. At the time, the only thing I knew about gay men was that they preferred men to women. This described me perfectly: I disliked girls, and my best friend in the world was my buddy Bill. Oh no, I’m going to hell.”
When he brought up the issue with his grandmother — known to Vance as “Mamaw” — she replied bluntly: “Don’t be a fucking idiot, how would you know that you’re gay?”
When Vance explained his reasoning, she laughed.
“JD, do you want to suck dicks?” she said, according to the book.
The young Vance, apparently “flabbergasted,” said: “Of course not!”
“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”
None of that makes sense as a truthful story. First I don’t think a grandmother would use that “want to suck dicks” phrasing when speaking to her grandson, but also the laughing at him and saying “fucking idiot, how would you know you’re gay?” is in direct contradiction to the later “it would be OK, god would still love you” line. Those two things wouldn’t come from one person. I think it’s a cobbled together story of things he heard from different people at different times, presented as a conversation with his grandmother.
This whole interaction with his grandma is so fucked up. Even if her logic was sound what 8 or 9 year old, gay or straight, is thinking about sticking dicks. JD needs some therapy.
The projection is the tell.
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.
I mean he did know he wanted to find a woman into dolphins because both were highlighted showing they were his search terms.
Peter Theil is overtly weird af, just saying.
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.
News flash: some people who want to have sex with penis-having people do not like having penises in their mouths.
(I’m not one of them mind you, but they exist).
That’s kind of the whole point of that phrase being highlighted. It’s not that anyone actually thinks that because young J.D was asked about sucking dicks and he said no, that he’s magically removed of all homosexual thoughts, and to be gay you need to like sucking dicks.
The implication is highlighting to be that he could be repressed bi or gay from his grandmothers rhetorical question.
Frot’s more like sofa-fucking, so that might be closer to his comfort zone.
Sucking dick? Not gay.
A bear railing me in my ass while I rail a femboy twink in his? Still not gay. That’s the secret guys. Just don’t suck dick and never gay.

Listen. It’s just a couple straight dudes havin sex. Nothin gay about it.
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.
Yup, it has stuck.
Ok Donny, you got this. All you have to do is come up with the most natural and least bizarre reason that Vance (ugh!) isn’t weird. Just come up with it now and you can say it over and over again for the next two months no problem. Ok ok ok here comes the moment, what are you going to say?
“so straight…”
What happened? I wasn’t paying attention. Covfefe. Hamberder.
Oh, progress! They’re now admitting sexuality is a spectrum and there are “degrees of heterosexuality”. 😁
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.
2016 election they insisted that they supported gay people
It was one of the things my mother told me to defend the orange bad.
What a weird thing to say. I’d like to see Dementia DonOLD wear some eyeliner too, at this point it’s just weird he doesn’t.
What a fucking weird thing to say.
Only proves that Trump is weird. What a weird thing to say.
What a strange thing to say
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.
To be fair. It’s a sign of stupidity to pick that word choice when LGBT Rights are a big talking point right now
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.
