Donald Trump criticizes Kamala Harris and other individuals during charity dinner


Former President Donald Trump used his platform at the Catholic charity dinner to insult and attack various targets, garnering groans and boos from the white-tied audience. He took jabs at Vice President Kamala Harris and former New York Mayor Bill DeBlasio, making nasty jokes and calling DeBlasio the worst mayor New York has ever had. Harris, who was absent from the event, responded with milder barbs directed at Trump in a video presentation. Trump’s speech, reminiscent of his 2016 Al Smith dinner performance, included personal attacks and boasts about his victory in the upcoming election.

Trump also voiced his dissatisfaction with ongoing legal troubles and investigations into his conduct, expressing empathy for other public figures facing similar challenges. He briefly mentioned the two assassination attempts against him and expressed that he didn’t see the point of joking about himself when others have been targeting him for so long. Despite the serious tone near the end of his speech, Trump did not address the current state of the country’s divisions.

The Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner is a fundraising event for Catholic charities known for giving candidates the opportunity to joke about their opponents and themselves. In past years, presidential candidates have used the dinner as a platform for showmanship and bipartisanship. The exchange of light-hearted banter can sometimes reveal a more human side to politicians and set the stage for respectful political discourse.
