Donald Trump, king of comedy?
The Spectator ^ | 18 October 2024 | Cockburn

Posted on 10/18/2024 3:04:36 PM PDT by Rummyfan

In spooky season, it’s only appropriate that the “joy” has been drawn out of the Harris campaign like a demon facing an exorcist. It may have found a new host in her opponent: former president Donald Trump brought down the house at the Al Smith dinner for Catholic charities in New York City last night, which Kamala opted to skip. Trump has also faced criticism this week for canceling events and dodging interviews with CNBC and the Shade Room.

His remarks are worth watching in their entirety (you can do so below), but here are some choice one-liners. Clearly Trump has benefited from keeping the company of comedians Andrew Schulz and Theo Von lately.

On Kamala: “Instead of attending tonight, she’s in Michigan receiving Communion from Gretchen Whitmer.”

On Biden: “Joe has almost disappeared from view, the only way he could be seen less is if he had a show on CNN.”

On Schumer: “Chuck Schumer is here, looking very glum… but look on the bright side, Chuck: considering how ‘woke’ your party has become, if Kamala loses you still have the chance to become the first woman president.”

On Harris supporters: “There’s a group called White Dudes for Harris, have you seen this? Are some of you here White Dudes to Harris? But I’m not worried about them at all, because their wives and their wives’ lovers are all voting for me.”

His appearance is worth watching just for his comedy, he was like a pro.

He was great, the audience sucked. Half of a successful comedy bit is people enjoying themselves. These guys could be sitting on a pike outside the Castle, they grimace so much.

I watched his prepared zingers. There were so many, In Trump fashion, that weren’t as many follow ups and he ad-libbed as usual. The response was funnier than the prepared response.

It's one of the girls that does a news show.

The Trump speech was brilliant.

I will be at MSG next Sunday.

That guy sitting in front of Trump to his right was a real sourpuss.

It sure has.

He’s a master showman and knows how to work a crowd. Harris doesn’t have the ability to do this, she just doesn’t. Her only trick is the girly-gossipy persona like on Oprah, giggling and mindless banter.

She’s got Jeb Bush charisma - if she tried any kind of nuanced humor it would have to be on the teleprompter and she would say “Please clap”.
