The Weirdo Strategy- Dems May Focus On How Weird Trump Is
And he gives them lots to work with
Trump’s speeches sound more and more like a broken record these days, with him recycling his insults, his lies, and a lot of garbled thoughts and memory lapses. He even reverts to insulting Biden now and then. And some Dem strategists see a new way to attack him by focusing on what a weird human he has become.
One of the ways to drive a narcissist crazy is to laugh at him, to mock him, and to generally use the same verbal tools he uses to attack his opponents. But this has its downsides too because it can be seen as using the same bullying tactics many of us find disgusting.
So going after him means finding a balance between simply demonstrating how out there he is while not getting down into the mud with him. Portraying him as a weirdo may hit that balance, but it must be done by using his own words, coming out of his own mouth, and letting voters build their own impression.
This could work because he offers a constant stream of examples and most, if not all of it, are either on video or audio. So far this approach has not been successfully used against him but I think it may have been because Biden found it distasteful and distracting.
