CRAIG BROWN: They say Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate after being impressed by his description of her rival, Donald Trump , as 'weird'. For some reason, the insult had taken off, and had clearly rankled the one person it was meant to rankle: Trump himself. Interviewed by the radio host Clay Travis, Trump was still smouldering. 'Nobody's ever called me weird.' Weirdly, he then repeated the same sentence: 'Nobody's ever called me weird.' He then added: 'I'm a lot of things, but weird I'm not.' Walz, the governor of Midwest state Minnesota , also described the Republican vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance , as 'weird', and this also upset Trump. 'I will tell you. J.D. is not at all. They are. We're not weird people. We're actually just the opposite.'
