Guests at the annual Al Smith Dinner on Thursday were left unimpressed with former President Donald Trump’s jokes, which included taunting former President Barack Obama by using his full name, “Barack Hussein Obama,” and claiming President Joe Biden had the “mental faculties of a child.”
Speaking at the dinner next to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Archbishop of New York Timothy M. Dolan, Trump remarked, “It was announced this morning that at a funeral yesterday, in a rare moment of clarity, Joe told Barack Hussein Obama that–”
As a lone laugh could be heard from the audience, Trump responded, “Heh. Only a few people got that. Or, as Rush Limbaugh used to say, Barack Husseeeiiin Obama. Remember? He was a piece of work. We miss him.”
Trump’s fellow guests looked uncomfortable and sat stone-faced as Schumer could be seen shaking his head.
“But as he told Barack Hussein Obama, quote, ‘She’s not as strong as me. She’s not as strong, do you understand that?’ And Obama agreed, saying, ‘That’s true,’” Trump continued. “Other than that, I think the Democrats are getting along quite well, right?”
After the former president was met with complete silence, he said, “Nobody got that one. The fact is we need new leadership in this country. Right now, 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. It’s sad. Who’s a person that has nothing going, no intelligence whatsoever.”
With the audience silent again at Trump’s remarks, he quickly moved on, saying, “But enough about Kamala Harris, let’s get onto something else.”
Even comedian Jim Gaffigan, who took his own shots at Vice President Kamala Harris, seemed unimpressed with Trump’s remarks and sat stone-faced.
