I don't know I feel weary about him, he talks the talk and he seems like a nice guy, but there's been a few weird things like him taking a long time to defend Trump and things like that that it makes it hard for me to completely trust him. Does anyone else get this feeling too or am I just being paranoid?

The term is "leery" not "weary."
I think he meant wary.
Wary is a correct word too but that's not what he was thinking. He did what lots of people do, mixing "leery" with "wary" to make "weary." However, "leery" is a much stronger word, denoting that feeling you can't quite put a finger on, the hair rising on the back of the neck, the zero at the bone, the sense of general unease you can't explain. "Wary" means to be cautious in the face of a defined threat.
Wary is a lot closer to "weary" than leery. Wary: not completely trusting or certain about something or someone. The definition certainly fits his criteria and description. Synonyms for wary: cautious, leery. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/wary
