President Donald Trump became a comedian for a night at the Al Smith Dinner as he roasted Kamala Harris and several other politicians. The event occurred in New York City, so of course local politicians were the target of Trump’s jokes, including Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio. Kamala was invited, and instead of showing up, she recorded a cringeworthy 3-minute speech with a fully adult woman dressed as a Catholic schoolgirl. Mainstream media didn’t seize on Kamala’s absence. The press did, however, attack President Trump’s performance. The Washington Post said his jokes were full of below-the-belt, profanity-laden humor.
