Thursday Night was the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in NYC, an annual event that raises funds for Catholic kids’ charities.

It’s known to bring together cultural leaders and big-time politicians for a night of light jabs and making fun of each other and themselves.

Since presidential candidates usually attend during election years, it was the perfect event for Donald Trump to participate since so many of his rallies don’t mention policy specifics and instead devolve into him railing against his so-called political opps.

Trump, however, seems unable to make fun of himself and immediately attacked Vice President Kamala Harris with quips that, surprise, seemed bitter instead of lighthearted, continuing with the same rhetoric he’s been spewing.

“We have someone in the White House who can barely talk, barely put together two coherent sentences, who seems to have mental faculties of a child, is a person that has no intelligence whatsoever—but enough about Kamala Harris,” Trump quipped.

He knew he was supposed to take shots at himself, but he claims, “I’m supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes. So here it goes…Nope. I’ve got nothing. I’ve got nothing! I guess I just do not see the point in taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me for a long time.”

Many of his jokes bombed, and he even teetered on the edge when he made a few transphobic jokes, with the first aimed at Senate Majority Leader and fellow native New Yorker Chuck Schumer.

“He looks glum. But look on the bright side. Consider how woke your party has become; if she loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president,” he said.

Then he took aim at Harris’ running mate and Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz with another LGBTQIA+ joke, saying, “I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying men have periods, but then I met Tim Walz,” Trump said.

Harris didn’t show up at the event and opted to campaign in Wisconsin but did submit a video to the dinner of a skit she did with Saturday Night Live’s Mary Catherine Gallagher that poked fun at Trump’s disparaging comments about Detroit, saying, “I would never do that no matter where I was. That would be like criticizing Detroit in Detroit.”

She even had jokes of her own at the Wisconsin rally. When a heckler began yapping, she responded with a dig at Trump’s obsession with crowd sizes.

“Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally,” she said. “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”
