Donald Trump attended the famous Al Smith dinner on Thursday with his signature mix of humor and political commentary.
It was a great opportunity for the 45th president to remove all his little filters and get serious.
He took the opportunity to joke about the current state of the Democratic Party and then launched into a devastating rant against Vice President Kamala Harris, running mate Tim Walz, a crying Chuck Schumer, and liberals in general.
Harris was absent from the event but sent a video message instead. When I tried it out, it was, as you might imagine, boring. saturday night live A character who mocks Catholicism at an event aimed at raising funds for Catholic charities.
It’s just that we’re completely out of touch.
Even comedian Jim Gaffigan, who has never been an avid Trump supporter, thoroughly slammed Harris for not appearing.

But the real star here, as everyone expected, was Trump. Republican candidates are at their best when they let their guard down. While his opponents continued to look and act like complete robots, Trump repeatedly presented himself as a likeable guy you’d want to spend time with.
Here are some of his best moments…
President Trump’s best moments at the Al Smith dinner
What better place to start than a joke at Kamala’s expense? President Trump addresses Al Smith’s dinner with her plea for relief for rioters and arsonists in Minneapolis after George Floyd riots Then I slapped this line at her.
Trump said, “If you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I think you should have told her that the money was going to help the looters and rioters in Minneapolis. That way, she was guaranteed to be here.” He would have come,” he said.

Then he took an epic shot at someone we initially thought was Joe Biden, but hear me out. Even better.
“Right now, we have a man in the White House who can barely speak, can barely put together two coherent sentences, and appears to have the mental capacity of a child,” President Trump lamented. “But enough about Kamala Harris.”
I’m D 🤣🤣🤣

Then there were such accusations against her supporters. More specifically, the people at Dudes for Harris headquarters. Father: Pete, David Hogg, etc.
“There’s a group called ‘White Dudes for Harris,’ and I’m not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives’ lovers are all voting for me,” he said. I said it jokingly.
🚨🔥😂 Oh! Trump is the funniest man alive!
He’s branding white bastards for Harris.
Harry Sisson is now furious, thinks this was inappropriate and doesn’t want people to laugh at the joke.
😂😂😂😂😂

Man, they’re going to be furious about that line when they get home from spin class this morning. Speaking of white “bastards” to Harris, Trump figuratively murdered her running mate, Tim Walz, on several occasions.
President Trump once joked, “I thought Democrats were crazy that men had periods.” “But then I met Tim Walz.”

The former president also took aim at Walz’s tendency to make claims about his military and public service that ultimately turned out to be false.
“Unfortunately, Governor Walz himself is not here,” he said. “But don’t worry, he’ll say it was.”

And of course, it’s always nice to see Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), aka Cryin’ Chuck, being made uncomfortable. And Mr. Trump commented:
“Chuck Schumer is looking very gloomy here. But look on the bright side, Chuck, given how woke your party is, even if Kamala loses, you have We still have a chance to become the first female president.”
Trump just roasted Chuck Schumer 🤣🔥

Another important joke
Trump delivered some of the most sensational lines of the night, but it would be careless not to highlight a specific comment made by host Jim Gaffigan. It was meant as a joke, but when you think about it, it’s not really a joke.
The comedian addressed the elephant in the room. A coup was just launched by the Democratic Party against the wishes of its own voters.
“Democrats have been saying that Trump’s re-election is a threat to democracy,” he quipped. “In fact, they were so concerned about this threat that they staged a coup, ousting the democratically elected incumbent and installing Kamala Harris.”

In fact, they are so concerned about this threat that they stage a coup d’état and remove the democratically elected incumbent. They kicked him out and installed Kamala Harris.” pic.twitter.com/ZVgqMbT2p5

All those words are true. biden It was Exiled. Harris It was Installed. And it was the biggest attack on democracy this country has seen in years.
Think about it for a moment. They got rid of the guy the Democrats voted for for the only reason they thought he couldn’t win. How can I make sure they don’t do it again? And again.
Democratic votes no longer mean anything, if they ever did. (Super delegate, anyone?)
With less than three weeks until the election, President Trump seems as relaxed as ever. Harris, on the other hand, seems stiff and completely out of touch with the average American.
who you Are you going to vote for?
