The Al Smith Dinner is an annual event known for its lighthearted humor and good-natured roasting. But this year, there was nothing lighthearted about Kamala Harris’s absence. While Trump took the stage and delivered some of his sharpest, most hilarious jokes yet, Kamala decided to skip out on the event entirely, opting to send in a cringe-worthy, scripted video message instead. Spoiler alert: she completely missed the mark—again.
Kamala just doesn’t get it. She hides behind pre-recorded messages filled with empty words, while Trump stood front and center, cracking jokes that left the room roaring. Let’s break down how Trump crushed it, and why Kamala’s no-show proves she’s out of touch and, frankly, afraid.
Kamala’s Awkward No-Show Video
First, let’s talk about Kamala’s no-show. Instead of attending in person, Harris sent a pre-recorded video to the event, featuring Saturday Night Live’s Molly Shannon as her classic character, Mary Katherine Gallagher. The problem? It wasn’t funny, and it certainly didn’t land in a room full of people expecting some genuine humor.
Kamala’s attempt to be relatable fell flat. While she awkwardly interacted with Shannon’s character, she tried to hit all the right notes with lines like, “Let us recommit to reaching across divides to seek understanding and common ground.” Really, Kamala? The same person who has no real solutions for the mess she’s made at the border now wants to talk about unity?
It didn’t get any better when Kamala awkwardly quoted scripture, saying, “The Gospel of Luke tells us that faith has the power to shine a light on those living in darkness and to guide our feet in the path of peace.” Nice try, but the attempt at piety only highlighted her tone-deafness.
If you haven’t seen her awkward message yet, Here’s the cringy video
Jim Gaffigan Nails It: “Now I Know How My Kids Felt”
To make matters worse for Kamala, even Jim Gaffigan, the master of ceremonies for the night, couldn’t resist poking fun at her ridiculous video. After the recording played, Gaffigan joked, “As I watch that, I couldn’t help but think of how my kids felt when I FaceTime into their piano recital.”
That one landed perfectly. Gaffigan summed up what everyone in the room was probably thinking—Kamala’s video was the political equivalent of a half-hearted FaceTime call: disconnected, awkward, and unnecessary.
Trump Steals the Show with His Edgy Humor
Now, while Kamala was busy embarrassing herself through a screen, Trump took center stage and delivered what can only be described as comedic gold. He wasted no time pointing out her absence, with a perfect opening line: “The last Democrat not to attend this important event was Walter Mondale, and it didn’t go well for him—he lost 49 states!”
That’s how you start a roast, folks. Kamala Harris’s no-show was like handing Trump a gift, and he made sure to unwrap it with full force. He followed up with this zinger: “If you really wanted Vice President Harris to accept your invitation, you should’ve told her the funds were going to bail out the looters and rioters in Minneapolis—then she would’ve been here, guaranteed!” Absolutely brutal—and spot-on.
But Trump wasn’t done. With his classic humor, he quipped: “I understand the real reason she’s not here—she’s out hunting with her running mate.” The crowd roared with laughter at the perfectly timed jab.
Trump also took a hilarious shot at Kamala’s notorious laugh, saying, “I was hoping Kamala would attend so we could hear her beautiful laugh echo through this room. We all recognize it anywhere!” It’s no secret that Harris’s laugh has become a meme in itself, and Trump capitalized on it perfectly.
And then came a savage closer aimed at Harris’s absence: “Catholics, you’ve got to vote for me. Remember, I’m here, and she’s not.” With that, Trump cemented the fact that he showed up, while Kamala hid behind a screen, missing the moment entirely.
Kamala, the Fake
Kamala’s absence from this event says a lot about her. She hides behind scripted videos and canned responses, while Trump faces the crowd and cracks jokes like the seasoned pro that he is. While Kamala was quoting scripture in the most awkward way possible, Trump was delivering the truth—sharply, hilariously, and confidently.
Even when Trump turned his attention to the media, his wit shined: “CNN and MSNBC will say, ‘Trump went too far,’ while Elon Musk and Fox News will say he was pitch-perfect.” That’s the Trump we know, always ready to call out the media for its predictably outraged reactions.
But the best moment of the night? Trump’s shot at Chuck Schumer, saying, “Chuck, if Kamala loses, you still have a chance to become the first woman president!” Even Schumer couldn’t help but laugh. Trump’s humor is sharp, savage, and, let’s be honest, absolutely accurate.
The Verdict: Trump Wins, Kamala Loses
At the end of the day, Kamala Harris’s decision to skip the Al Smith Dinner and send in a lifeless video proves one thing—she can’t handle the pressure. She’d rather hide behind a screen than face the music in person. Meanwhile, Trump did what he does best: showed up, owned the room, and delivered some of the funniest, edgiest jokes we’ve seen in a while.
Kamala might think she’s playing it safe by avoiding the spotlight, but all she’s doing is proving she’s out of touch and unfit for the political stage. As for Trump? He once again showed why he’s the man to beat.
