The Trump Presidency is a never-ending exercise in manufactured outrage. The former president continues to fuel the fire of conspiracy theories, even as his grip on reality seems increasingly tenuous.
Trump's beefs are eternal, and his grudge-holding has become a defining characteristic of his presidency. He rode his resentment of being excluded from Manhattan parties all the way to the White House, and now he's using the full force of the state to spread debunked conspiracy theories about immigrant crime and voter fraud.
The latest example is his recent video on Truth Social that resurrects false claims of widespread voter fraud and international conspiracy. The video also includes a racist clip of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes, which sparked bipartisan criticism and eventually led to the White House deleting the post.
Despite the fallout, Trump's base remains loyal, and they've continued to blindly follow his lead. Some even seem to have dropped their bedrock beliefs in the Second Amendment and opposition to government overreach in the process.
The problem with the right is that they're not just weird – they're also increasingly isolated from mainstream America. They're obsessed with fringe issues like drag shows and book-banning crusades, which are far outside the American norm.
Trump's attempt to flip the script on Democrats by calling them "the weird ones" didn't work. Instead, he was called out for his own hypocrisy, particularly when it came to his stance on the 2020 presidential election. Even some Republicans pointed to specific GOP statements and policy goals that deviated from the American mainstream.
The "weird" label has become a meme that's been effective in frustrating conservatives online. However, its creators were ultimately silenced by their own party. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who launched the term at Trump and Vice President JD Vance, was eventually sidelined by Kamala Harris' campaign.
In the end, it's clear that these guys really are weird. They're out of touch with mainstream America, and they're perpetuating conspiracy theories that have no basis in reality. Democrats should reclaim the "weird" label and highlight issues like affordability, housing, and infrastructure to connect with normal Americans.
For now, Trump will continue to peddle his brand of manufactured outrage, even as he becomes increasingly isolated from the rest of America. His actions are a reminder that some people really are out of touch with reality – and they need to be called out for it.

. like, dude, you're not fooling anyone anymore 
. his base might still think he's the genius in chief, but the rest of america is over it 
. i mean, who needs that kind of drama in their lives? 
? please, dude, you're one to talk with your own brand of manufactured outrage 
. it's time for him (and his base) to step up their game and start talking about real issues like affordability and housing 
.
. let's face it, trump's brand of weird is getting old 
. we need someone who's going to talk about the issues that matter to normal americans, not just perpetuate conspiracy theories and racist clips 
.
. like, who decides what's weird or not? is it just a bunch of libs trying to shut down conservative opinions? should we really be calling out people for being "out of touch with reality"? doesn't that come across as condescending? and btw, what's up with all these conspiracy theories? haven't they been debunked like, a million times already? 
! The problem isn't the left being "weird", it's that some people on the right are out of touch with the rest of America 
. And can we talk about how Trump's team is trying to control the narrative by silencing people who disagree with them? Not cool 
. We need more fact-checking and less echo chambers 
.
And what's up with the Obama ape clip?! It's like they're trying to prove their own crazy theory 
... seriously, when will it end?! 
. Trump knows exactly how to push buttons and get reactions out of people, even if it means going against what's actually true 
. And the craziest part? Some Republicans are still blindly following him! 
What's wrong with them?! 
. Democrats need to get back on track and start talking about what really matters: affordability, housing, infrastructure... you know, actual problems 
.
Newsflash: being "weird" isn't a thing in America, unless you're talking about actual weird stuff like tax returns and secret meetings with Putin 
Anyway, Dems should own the label and focus on what matters – affordable healthcare and education for all 
. I mean, come on, comparing obama and michelle to apes? That's not weird, that's just plain sick 
. And don't even get me started on the whole voter fraud thing - it's like he thinks he can just rewrite reality to fit his own twisted narrative 
. Anyway, I'm glad the white house deleted that post because let's be real, trump has zero credibility left 
. And yeah, his base is still super loyal but they're not exactly the tip of the spear anymore 
.
, but honestly, most of us aren't buying it. his latest video was lowkey racist 
I mean come on... can't we just move forward already? The way Trump is still spewing conspiracy theories and divisive rhetoric is getting old 
and he's using the whole "weird" label on dems to deflect from his own BS 
. It's crazy how his base still sticks by him despite all the fake news and misinformation he spreads 
, and now he's the one who sounds like the weirdo 
.
, like, have you noticed how the forecast is always wrong? Like, "it's gonna rain" but then it's not... or "it's gonna be sunny" and then it's dark. I mean, can't they just get it right for once?! 
. Mind blown!
His base might still love him, but newsflash: that's not the majority of America
