IN FULL: Trump makes top Democrats laugh during charity dinner roast

IN FULL: Former US president Donald Trump's sharp roasts at the Al Smith charity dinner had senior Democrats laughing, as he took aim at his rivals, including Vice President Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump took to the stage at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner in a light-hearted evening for prominent US politicians.

Kamala Harris wasn't in attendance at the dinner but did supply a video message.

Mr Trump took aim at Ms Harris' "beautiful laugh" saying "we would recognise it anyplace in this room".

The event, held on Thursday night, aimed to raise nearly $10 million for Catholic charities.

Other notable attendees included New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, Mayor Eric Adams, Attorney General Letitia James, and US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"Chuck, considering how 'woke' your party has become, if Kamala loses, you still have the chance to become the first Woman President" 💀🔥💀🔥💀🔥🤣🤣🤣

Trump in the same room with people who tried to unalive him.

This debunks Trump competence questions. On the top of his game. Humour is the highest form of communication.

[David-icby]

This guy is incredibly gracious to people who have done everything up to and including facilitating attempts on his life. Unreal.

[jasonjackson]

Whoever decided to put Chuck right beside the podium, we thank you!

Can you imagine Joe Biden or Kamala Harris holding a room like this? I can't.

To imagine having gone through all this hell that he has, assasination attempts, crazy lawsuits trying to lock him up for petty crimes if at all crimes, and yet here he is, making everyone laugh without “hate”. Incredible man! Trump 2024!!❤

"Always great to visit New York - especially when it's not on a subpoena" 😂😂😂

"I just don't see the point of taking shots at myself when other people have been shooting at me."

Trump is hilarious. He is a clever man. He takes so much crap, and is the most resilient person.

[xpusostomos]

"Unfortunately Governor Walz is not here, but don't worry he'll say that he was". :-D

[realdealastrology]

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” Most perfect example right here

[jerrybabiak]

To let Trump have 15 minutes to jab at his opponents is just pure gold sent from heaven 😀

[klaasmaglaas]

"White Dudes For Harris.... Their wives and their lovers are voting for me".

I'm dead.

I will be the first to admit that this has altered my perception of Donald Trump. If there is a common language to heal us, its humor. This to me looks like a man trying to bring us together with humor. Hell even if its only for an hour, its still refreshing.

Also you cant question his mental state, because the mans got jokes. I wasn't the biggest fan of Obama, but he did something similar before he handed over the torch, he tried to bring us together with some dinner jokes.

The fact that Kamala didnt show up to this CHARITY dinner, speaks volumes.

Hes won my vote.

[mack]

"Jokes will be fact checked" 🤣🤣🤣

[chitwnyawdman]

You know what, i finally get it now. even if he loses to Harris, he has already won at something far more important - He won in his own life. An imperfect man who wasnt afraid to keep it real, never had to be fake to be liked, had zero cares if he was liked, could have chosen the easy path of comfort n luxury, instead he chose to live and literally risk dieing for something greater than himself- he loves the people and his country. We can hate him all we want, the man is a RockbStar, a living legend.

“If kamala loses you still have a chance to become the first woman president” Trump absolutely crushed Schumer 😂😂😂

[turbonerd]

It seems so effortless but he just controls any room he’s in. It’s an incredibly difficult thing to do, but he does it every time.

"This is not my normal crowd. My crowd is younger. But you guys have cash. Lots of it." Trump's roast is epic.
