Yes, Trump's campaign is contributing to the effectiveness of the "weird" attack by very obviously allowing themselves to be triggered by it. Running counter-ads where they try to co-opt "weird" and use it to describe the Democrats is a massive fail on their part.
Trump can’t handle it at all. When asked about it he said the weird memes were about JD Vance not him. He cannot accept being called weird. At all. That’s why it will continue to work.
