Donald Trump manages to provoke a whole range of feelings in people — anger, fear, amusement, adulation, bewilderment — but he doesn’t often make them cringe; he’s usually far too self-assured for that. And yet I’m sure I’m not the only one whose face contorted reflexively into a grimace as I watched his latest attempt to defend himself and his running mate against the charge that they are both “weird”. “He is weird, right? He’s weird. I’m not weird. He’s weird,” Trump said during a town hall in Wisconsin on Thursday, leaning rather awkwardly on a chair and looking around the room for reassurance. The “he” that Trump was referring to is Tim Walz, governor of Minnesota, Kamala Harris’s running mate and the man responsible for making “weird” one of the defining words of the 2024 US election. https://www.ft.com/content/29334b17-e5bf-4650-8578-866cb2c980f4
