Calling Trump "weird" is like calling Putin "weird". I mean, yeah, I guess technically you're correct, but it's a massive understatement at best, and at worst it focuses on the wrong things. People don't dislike Trump because he's weird. It's because he's dangerous.
It's a better strategy than labeling him dangerous. The latter would make his supporters go "Fuck yeah he is! Watch out libtards!" The "weird" angle attacks his credibility.
Yeah, I think the idea is to not be afraid of Trump, because fear is what the Republicans want.
Its also classic Minnesota passive aggressive which is fitting since it came from Governor Walz.
Called him weird talking to a fellow Minnesotan today, who had told me he was a fan.
"Yeah, I'm not a big fan, the guy's just so weird."
"Yeah, he is from New York, so that's fair."
Yeah, but the "dangerous" label is easier to sell to your own voter base in the style of "A vote for Bart is a vote for anarchy".
If it makes people vote against him, I'll allow it.
He's a weird little dangerous freak with tiny hands
If its get under their skin, i'll allow it.
And corrupt. Putin. Trump probably too.

You are right, he is definitely corrupt
