A major advantage Trump has over his Democrat adversaries is that he has a personality. The contrast has never been more evident than at the Al Smith dinner, which raises money for Catholic charities that benefit children.

Via Catholic Vote:

Trump delivered a humorous speech at the 79th annual Al Smith Dinner in New York City Thursday night, receiving laughs and applause from the crowd on multiple occasions.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris, had last month controversially decided to break with tradition for major party presidential nominees and not attend the beloved Catholic charity dinner in person. …

During his speech, Trump admonished Harris for being the first Democratic presidential nominee in 40 years not to attend the Catholic event.

The last one who didn’t show was Walter Mondale — who went on to lose 49 states.

It wasn’t enough for the Abortion Queen not to show up:

In a surprise last-minute decision, however, Harris decided to send to the event a pre-recorded video address in which she appeared alongside comedienne Molly Shannon.

In the video, Shannon was playing her 1990s “Saturday Night Live” character Mary Katherine Gallagher – a caricature of a nerdy Catholic school student.

Cackala’s phoned-in contribution was lame, disrespectful, and patently insincere:

In contrast, Trump honored tradition by making the audience laugh:

“I don’t think Kamala has given up yet. Instead of attending tonight, she’s in Michigan receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer,” the Republican nominee joked.

Here’s Gretchen Whitmer offering communion. No wonder Trump is winning the Catholic vote in swing states.

Check out the sour look on Chuck Schumer’s face — just before Trump pokes fun at it:

The absent Tim Walz made for an even better target of Trump’s wit:

Trump also opened fire on White Dudes for Harris:

Having Trump back in the White House is going to be fun.
