'He was funny!' Media analyst says Trump took advantage of absent Harris at comedy dinner

Raw Story  

Donald Trump made at least one person laugh at the Al Smith charity dinner Thursday night, with a CNN media analyst saying the former president’s best moment came when he made light of his recent assassination attempts. “I thought he was funny,” CNN media analyst Brian Stelter said on the network moments after Trump concluded his comedy shtick at the New York City event that benefits Catholic charities. Because I think he’s experiencing real trauma, real PTSD as a result of the shootings, but he is still able to have a light moment in this room.” Secret Service agents thwarted an assassination attempt at Trump’s Florida golf course in September, two months after the former president suffered wounds in an attempt on his life at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump said at the dinner Thursday when speaking about the assassination attempts: “I said, ‘You know, was that luck…or was that God that did that?’ And I think it was God that did that.
