Wow! Even Stelter Says Trump Triumphed Last Night

Here's how the Trump campaign (and others) viewed last night's gala Al Smith Dinner in New York. For the record, we tend to agree:

Last night, President Donald J. Trump delivered the traditional roast at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner — and it was a master class in humor, delivery, and tact.

 

Kamala — who isn't funny, despises Catholics, and was too afraid of being roasted by President Trump — became the first presidential nominee since 1984 to skip the event.

 

 

Here's what you missed:

• Kamala was cooked for being the first presidential nominee since 1984 to skip the dinner: "She did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert — and the longtime staple of campaigning, the Call Her Daddy podcast..."
  
  
• President Trump scorched Kamala for disrespecting Catholics: "If you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, I guess you should have told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis and she would've been here — guaranteed."
  
  
• President Trump skewered Tampon Tim Walz: "I used to think Democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods, but then I met Tim Walz."
  
  
• President Trump roasted the small band of left-wing losers who call themselves "White Dudes for Harris": "There's a group called 'White Dudes for Harris' ... but I'm not worried about them at all because their wives and their wives' lovers are all voting for me."
  
  
• President Trump praised God for His protection: "Having recently myself survived two assassination attempts, I have a very fresh appreciation for how blessed we are by God's Providence and His divine mercy. With God's help, I know there is nothing that cannot be achieved."
  
  
• President Trump roasted Second Gentleperson "Doug" Emhoff: "A major issue in this race is childcare, and Kamala has put forward a concept of a plan ... The only piece of advice I would have for her — in the event she wins — would be not to let husband Doug anywhere near the nannies."
  
  
• President Trump made light of the Democrat-led lawfare against him: "It's a true pleasure to be with you this evening ... and these days, it's really a pleasure [to be] anywhere in New York without a subpoena for my appearance."
  
  
• President Trump highlighted the reality of two assassination attempts against him: "I just don't see the point of taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me."

Even Brian "Potato Head" Stelter had praise for President Trump: "I thought he was funny! I thought he actually got a few great jokes in ... and he took advantage of the fact that Kamala Harris wasn't there."

 

It was just the latest demonstration that only one candidate has the strength to stand up for Americans: President Donald J. Trump.
