Minnesota’s Governor Tim Walz has decided to take a strong stance against former President Donald Trump, and in his latest antics, he’s reaching for words that belong more in a high school debate than on the world stage. The term “weird” has become his new favorite, a buzzword that Governor Walz and other Democrats are tossing around with all the finesse of a toddler throwing a tantrum. Rather than attack Trump’s policies or record, Walz has hitched his wagon to the notion that Trump is simply strange, a unique approach that seems to be the party line in the lead-up to the upcoming elections.
In a recent appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Walz outlined his reasoning, detailing Trump’s peculiar knack for talking about everything from Hannibal Lecter to “shocking sharks.” It’s unclear if this qualifies as serious political critique or just a desperate attempt to find something, anything, to throw at Trump. The narrative that is being crafted is quite astonishing; instead of engaging in substantial debate, Democrats are opting to label their opponents with playground insults. This tactic reached its peak when Kamala Harris chimed in, declaring that Trump was “just plain weird” at a campaign rally. One has to wonder if their strategy guide was written by ten-year-olds.
One interesting observation Walz made was about Trump’s demeanor, noting Trump’s apparent inability to enjoy a good laugh. In his analysis, he ponders how someone can be in the public eye for over six years without sharing a hearty chuckle, suggesting that’s just not normal behavior for someone at that level. The irony, however, is that Walz and his fellow Democrats seemingly ignore that a sizable portion of the American public finds Harris’s constant giggles both off-putting and distracting.
Then there’s the subtle acknowledgment that Walz may have national ambitions, as he now entertains the idea of being Kamala’s potential running mate. This would certainly throw a wrench in things for Harris, not because of his merits but because, let’s face it, Walz’s political chops haven’t left a significant mark on the national conversation. His comments regarding serving in a potential partnership with Harris come off as a classic politician’s play—more about PR than practicality. It reeks of someone trying to hitch their star to a sinking ship.

The overarching theme here is the Democrats’ struggle to find a cohesive message. Instead of addressing serious issues like inflation, crime, or national security, they’re opting to stick to snappy soundbites. Walz’s attempt to redefine the narrative by calling Trump “weird” is a clear signal of desperation in the face of more pressing challenges. Americans may be looking for solutions rather than sifting through a smorgasbord of juvenile insults. If the Democrats think that throwing around the term “weird” is going to resonate with voters in 2024, they may be in for a rude awakening.
