Best explanation for why 'weird' is so powerful...
"The power of using phrases like "that's weird" or "that's just weird" is that it conveys, "That's just not worthy of discussion... Therein is the magic... With Trump it means not allowing him to define the discussion or make the rules. It stops the Dems from chasing him down his rabbit hole. That seems to infuriate Trump, who’s now escalating to pull them back into arguments and to continue to define the game.""
