I've gotta feeling that Trump is going to triumph over evil.

Wow the Kamala part was disgusting. Absolutely insulting to the gathering. Trump was great.

[lacycolder]

harris was reading from a teleprompter her eyes can be seen reading it not even from the heart

[BB-yes]

Comedy gold! Weird Kamala not only pre-recorded it but relied on someone else to be funny

[benrobles]

Trump nailed it. His comments off the bat the mayor…golden. Such a good speech, a couple swings and miss, but overall good job. Kamala’s was so cringe. Not a good look. Who told her not to go??

[HellenicPapist]

Amen! So happy to see President Trump at our Church’s dinner tonight. God bless, and Catholics for Trump.

[Melissa-cbwz]

I’ve been around tons of women and I’m fairly sure that one trying to appear so sweet on camera like Kamala does on her video is an absolute nightmare behind the scenes. Trump is authentically savage but also genuinely kind.

Trump for 4 more years and Jesus Christ our Lord for Eternity ✝️✝️✝️

Donald Trump just united Catholics, Jews, Democrats and Republicans with a "wife's lover" joke. There is hope for this country after all!

[americanmanstan]

Look at all the people hanging around Trump, even 15 minutes after. How many would stick around after for Kamala? She's so unlikeable.

[emilygersky]

The black lady in the bottom left corner does not want to be there. I think she has got to absolutely HATE Trump, the rage is strong in this one. When Trump came to the podium she was one of the few who didn’t stand, didn’t even clap, and she sat turned away the entire time. Every time I look at her I get a little scared. She’s like a tea kettle that’s boiling but isn’t taken off the stove.

I would love to have eavesdropped on the conversation with Schumer and Trump.

[VashkSadeg]

❤TRUMP is my favorite president ❤I voted for him 🇺🇸

*Kamala Harris not only skips this historic NYC Catholic charity dinner, she sends a cringeworthy video with a former SNL woman whose character is a parochial school girl in uniform who mocks Catholic education! BTW, the only other presidential candidate to skip the Al Smith Dinner was Walter Mondale in 1984 who lost 49 states!*

[tnhungau]

Trump doesn't need to laugh (or cackle) to make others laugh. I laughed so much with tears in my eyes

[GemmaMHFA]

You got this President Trump. Amen 🙏
My BF is called Al Smith. It’s a sign Sir

[ModestoTPP]

[samvalentino]

So many people love president trump! God bless you Mr president! Trump 2024
