It was another strategic blunder for her campaign, which is staffed by people who are just as dumb as the 2024 Democratic nominee. The event isn\u2019t some academic exercise, lady. It\u2019s a charity event with high society\u2014a cupcake walk. It\u2019s the definition of a lay-up in American politics, and she skipped it. At this point, no message will resonate with working-class voters, and there is nothing she can do to get black men into the fold or stop the bleeding with Latinos. If she had attended and not fallen flat, Kamala would\u2019ve earned a moment of good press instead of the demolishing she endured in absentia. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The best part of Trump\u2019s jokes was that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was in full view the entire time. He sat next to the podium, seething as Trump delivered line-after-line demolishing Democrats and Kamala Harris. Even Chuck was the target of a joke from the former president. Trump skewered Harris, saying she couldn&#8217;t attend because she was receiving communion from Gretchen Whitmer. He also mocked White Guys for Kamala, adding that he\u2019s not worried because their wives and their wives\u2019 lovers are voting for him. Regarding childcare, Trump advised Kamala to keep her husband, Doug, away from the nannies. There were some other good lines:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PRESIDENT TRUMP: &#8220;All polls are indicating I\u2019m leading big with the Catholic vote, as I should be, but I don\u2019t think Kamala has given up yet.
