Trump Faces Mixed Reactions at Al Smith Dinner

The Al Smith Dinner, a Catholic charity event, featured former President Donald Trump who delivered a series of jokes, some of which were met with boos from the audience. Vice President Kamala Harris sent a prerecorded video instead of attending, which Trump criticized as disrespectful. Comedian Jim Gaffigan also performed, referencing Trump's controversial past comments and receiving varied reactions. Trump made light of his legal troubles and took jabs at Harris and other Democrats, with some jokes falling flat. Commentary on 'The View' criticized Trump's presence, expressing discomfort with his normalization at the event. Despite mixed reception, the dinner maintained its role as a platform for political humor.
