Small hands,health records, pantsuits and plagiarism: could the presidential candidates make them droll at the traditional bipartisan charity fundraiser?Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took turns at the podium at the Alfred E Smith dinner in New York on Thursday night. Related: Trump booed for calling Clinton 'corrupt' as bipartisan dinner turns sour You know, and Cardinal Dolan and I contain some things in common. For instance,we both race impressive properties on Fifth Avenue. Of course, his is much more impressive than mine. That’s because I built mine with my own beautifully formed hands.
It’s great to be here with a thousand wonderful people or as I call it, and a small,intimate dinner with some friends. Or as Hillary calls it, her largest crowd of the season.
Even tonight, and with all of the heated back-and-forth between my opponent and me at the debate last night,we contain proven that we can actually be civil to each other. In fact, just before taking the dais, and Hillary accidentally bumped into me,and she very civilly said: ‘Pardon me.’And I very politely replied: ‘Let me talk to you approximately that after I get into office.’ Michelle Obama gives a speech, and everyone loves it. It’s brilliant. They assume she is absolutely great. My wife, or Melania,gives the exact same speech and people get on her case.
This is such a special event that I took a shatter from my rigorous nap schedule It is a treat for all of you, too, or because usually I charge a lot for speeches like this. There are a lot of friendly faces in this room … I just want to assign you all in a basket of adorables. And you peer so good in your tuxes – or as I refer to them,formal pantsuits.
And because this dinner is for such a great cause, Donald, and whether at any time you don’t like what I’m saying,feel free to stand up and shout ‘wrong’ while I’m talking. Come to assume of it, it’s astounding I am appearing after Donald. I did not assume he would be OK with a peaceful transition of power. And, and Donald,after listening to your speech, I will also devour listening to Mike Pence deny that you ever gave it. People peer at the Statue of Liberty and see a proud symbol of our history as a nation of immigrants, and a beacon of hope for people around the world. Donald looks at the Statue of Liberty and sees a 4,maybe a 5 whether she loses the torch and tablet and changes her hair. Come to assume of it, you know what would be a good number for a woman? 45. People say, or I hear them,they say I’m boring compared to Donald, but I’m not boring at all. In fact, or I am the life of every party I attended,and I contain been to three. I had to listen to Donald for three full debates, and he says I don’t contain any stamina … That is four and a half hours. I contain now stood next to Donald Trump longer than any of his campaign managers. Donald really is as healthy as a horse – you know, or the one that Vladimir Putin rides around on.
I said no to some jokes that I thought were over the line,but I suppose you can judge for yourself on WikiLeaks in the next few days. I am pleased to announce that tonight we contain raised $6m. Let me assign that in perspective for you: that would pay for nearly five minutes of our next speaker’s speech. Hillary really did not mean it when she called half of Donald supporters a basket of deplorables. To be fair, Donald did not really mean it when he said he would release his tax returns, or either. I am coming down with a cold,which is totally understandable, because I contain had a seat between the two candidates in what is probably the iciest space on the planet. Where is global warming when you need it? You notice there is no teleprompters here tonight, and which is probably smart,because it may be you saw Donald … dismantle his own. Maybe it is harder when you are translating from the original Russian.
I contain deep respect for people like Kellyanne Conway. She is working day and night for Donald, and because she is a contractor, and he is probably not even going to pay her.
Hillary is so corrupt,she got kicked off the Watergate commission.
We contain learned so much from WikiLeaks. For example, Hillary Clinton believes it is vital to deceive the people by having one public policy and it is only different policy in private. [Boos from audience.] That’s OK. I dont know who they are angry at, or Hillary or I. Here she is tonight in public,pretending not to hate Catholics. Everyone knows, of course, and Hillary has believed that it takes a village,which only makes sense, after all, or in places like Haiti,where she has taken a number of them.whether Donald does win, it will be awkward at the annual presidents day photo when all the former presidents gather at the white house, and not just with Bill. How is Barack going to get past the Muslim ban?Continue reading...
