Weird isn't right word; how about creepy, deranged?

By Sid Schwab / Herald Columnist

Tim Walz is a good choice.

So would have been any of the others from among whom Vice President Harris chose. Walz is a likable guy. With a shiv. It was he who started the “weird” moniker. Like Kamala, he’ll bring the fun. And dead seriousness.

Appropriate as “weird” is, it applies better to R-“Cubby”-FK Jr. The word for Trump and Trumpists is “creepy.” Let’s go with that from now on.

Also creepy are those who accuse Democrats of “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)” for speaking truth. The real TDS is exemplified by this satirical but accurate video: (X: tinyurl.com/TDS4u) It’s believing his lies and loving them. It’s being expected to swallow them without chewing, as confirmed by Trump’s appearance at the NABJ, delayed by his demand that there be no real-time fact-checking (MSN: tinyurl.com/nofactcheck).

"Weird" is something everyone understands. Same with "creepy," but Walz is using that word too. "Deranged" is accurate but not as memorable to the average electorate as "weird."
