Trump is totally NOT weird
Here's a funny post from FrameLab reader Ellen Ripley, who noticed that some Trump fans were breaking a basic rule of framing with these weird signs.
By insisting that Trump is "not weird," they automatically force people to think of "Trump" and "weird" – just as Richard Nixon forced people to think of him as a crook when he declared "I am not a crook."
Is it just us, or are the Republicans getting worse at this?
Remember: "When you negate the frame, you evoke the frame."
