Trump’s Charity Toward None
The New York Times ^ | Oct. 19, 2024, 7:00 a.m. ET | Maureen Dowd

The cardinal should go to confession.

Timothy Dolan let a white-tie charity dinner in New York showcase that most uncharitable of men, Donald Trump.

At the annual Al Smith dinner, Dolan suffused the impious Trump in the pious glow of Catholic charities. Dolan looked on with a doting expression as Trump made his usual degrading, scatological comments about his foils, this time cloaked as humor.

“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,” Trump told the New York fat cats. “It’s a person who has nothing going, no intelligence whatsoever. But enough about Kamala Harris.”

Trump also offered this beauty: “I used to think the Democrats were crazy for saying that men have periods. But then I met Tim Walz.” When Trump joked about keeping Doug Emhoff away from nannies, even he admitted it was “too tough.”

As he did in 2016 when he crudely attacked Hillary Clinton as she sat on the dais, Trump added a rancid cloud to what used to be a good-tempered bipartisan roast.

Dolan could have stood up and told Trump “Enough!” We have been longing for that voice of authority who could deliver the Joseph Welch line — “Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?” — to our modern Joe McCarthy. It is the church’s job, after all, to teach right from wrong.

Instead of telling Trump he was over the line, Dolan enabled him in his blasphemous effort to cast his campaign as a quasi-religious crusade and himself as a saintly martyr saved by God. The conservative cardinal didn’t care about soiling the legacy of the great Democratic patriot Al Smith.

“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,” Trump told the New York fat cats. “It’s a person who has nothing going, no intelligence whatsoever. But enough about Kamala Harris.”

Mo didn't think that was funny because it is actually the truth.

If Trump wins on Nov. 5 the meltdown this year will make the 2016 meltdown seem like nothing.

The meltdown of liberals and those with TDS on November 5th will make the meltdown of Hillary supporters in 2016 look like a pajama party.

These people are going lose their sh*t, their marbles and their sanity all at the same time.

These two say they 'can't wait'... But on November 5th... They will be among those with Trump Derangement Syndrome taking hissy fits...

I'm pretty sure they can wait... LOL.

The NYT has been printing negative stories about Trump with increasing frequency of late. This is just one more in a long list.

That’s not Dowd but Catherine Zeta Jones. Your signup date means you missed the early years of FR when posting Jones pic when a Dowd column was posted was an FR tradition. It has to do with the fact that Michael Douglas dated Dowd for a short while and dumped Dowd for Jones who he married and is still with. Dowd was somewhat crushed by being dumped by Douglas and this was FR twisting the knife in response to her usual leftist gossip column.

The cashier had a Trump hat on I was so ELATED I think I scared him, I am in CA. so you can imagine how HAPPY I was!! There were 3 people in line before me AND everyone of them were fist bumping him telling him nice hat, he has the black with white lettering like Elon has this store is more expensive for my wine HOWEVER I will purchase my wine from there from now on!! This young man is full of courage in CA. his boss is full of courage in CA. and I will continue to shop there regardless of price!!
