Trump's Showmanship is Why Kamala Harris Punted - Weekend Recap 10-26-24

The Kevin Jackson Show

[SEGMENT 2-1] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 1 Forget all the funny quips that Trump writers prepared for him for the Al Smith Dinner. While these were spot on, and had the impact of the comedic delivery, it's the other things that Trump did that made this event even more pivotal. Before I explain how Trump secured his already secure election, let's give kudos to Trump's writers. They delivered knock-out blows with their jokes, cleverly blending their humor with relevant facts. These writers covered many serious issues in a way that comedy is supposed to deliver. [X] SB – Trump at Al Smith Dinner opening Deferential to the event Thanked all the people, including those who hate him.
[SEGMENT 2-2] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 2 They touched on Harris' absence, Trump's assassination attempt, transgender issues, and many other Leftwing nutjob comments in a way that allowed even Democrats to have a few laughs. Take for example this shot Trump took at the "women" of The View. Trump trolls The View: "They need to bring Rosie O’Donnell back."pic.twitter.com/DO8f7hVTF0 — Defiant L’s (@DefiantLs) October 18, 2024 The masterful use of Rosie O'Donnell offers a clinic in comedy "call backs". And for the writers to allow a Trump callback to the line that arguably launched his political career borders on genius. Remember this: "Only Rosie O'Donnell." Three little words that proved to the world that Trump was no ordinary politician. In that supposed "gotcha" moment by Megyn Kelly, Trump proved that he was not the typical politicians. Not long after this, Democrats plotted to make Trump the Republican nominee, not realizing that they just unleashed the krakken. But that wasn't Trump's only callback. Get a load of this one (pun intended): Trump's self deprecating jokes, an Al Smith dinner tradition:
"Tradition holds that I'm supposed to tell a few self-deprecating jokes this evening, so here it goes:
Nope, I've got nothing.
There's nothing to say. I guess I just don't see the point in taking shots at myself when… pic.twitter.com/4FLXHAxNaT — Eric Abbenante (@EricAbbenante) October 18, 2024 Again, the gentle reminder by Trump that somebody tried to assassinate him. And yet, there he stood in a room full of political vermin. The majority of the people sitting in that room who wanted him dead or in prison. Moreover, many of them participated in conspiracies to get rid of Trump, one way or another. There stood Trump, the front-runner to be President again. His presence alone mocked them. The felon, sexual predator, unfit to serve as they painted him, laughed in their faces with the help of his writers. A Bit on Kamala Harris And what of this quip that took a shot at Kamala Harris? Trump alluded that Harris--a no show--might have shown up if they worded their invitation differently: NEW: Trump jokes that Kamala Harris would have shown up to the Al Smith dinner if the money was going out to bail out criminals. Brutal. pic.twitter.com/aDRVDq7WbP — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) October 18, 2024 Touché to the writers for bitch-slapping Harris in front of what would be mostly her crowd. One should note however, that there were approving whistles for Trump during much of his presentation. Indulge my repetition, but President Trump attended the Al Smith dinner and Kamala Harris did not. Harris bucked a tradition that hadn't been bucked since 1984. Interesting year, given George Orwell's novel, but I digress. Getting back to Harris being a no-show, I wonder if perhaps Harris doesn’t feel like a candidate? After all, she was shoe-horned in, in the coup of her former boss. Even Trump-hating Jim Gaffigan managed to see the irony of Harris' absence: Kamala gets roasted for being the first presidential nominee since 1984 to skip the Al Smith charity dinner: "She did find time to appear on The View, Howard Stern, Colbert — and the longtime staple of campaigning, the Call Her Daddy podcast..." pic.twitter.com/gVBxTcv6ou — Trump War Room (@TrumpWarRoom) October 18, 2024 "This is a room full of Catholics and Jews...in New York City. This is a layup for the Democratic nominee." As Gaffigan stated, this event was a slam dunk for a Democrat candidate much like the National Association of Black Journalist event that Harris conveniently avoided when Trump graciously accepted the invitation. And they wonder why Harris is losing the Black vote? Speaking of the NABJ, Harris ultimately did an interview with the NABJ. Have you seen a single clip from that interview that has been universally panned? To add on to Trump's quip about her absence, I say that one thing is certain: Harris wasn’t helping hurricane victims in Florida. Find out the main reason why Trump will be the next POTUS, again by reading Part Two of this article here.
[SEGMENT 2-3] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 3 [X] SB – Trump at the Al Smith Dinner on Tim Walz Trump did more than show up In Part Two of this article, let's look at the crux of Trump's appeal as demonstrated by his appearance at the Al Smith Dinner. I learned saying from a mentor years ago. He said to me the secret to success is the "UPs Program": Get up, show up, and follow up! Apparently, Trump understands that. And to quote singer Bruno Mars from Uptown Funk, "If we show up, we gon' show out, smoother than a fresh dry skippy". Trump got up, showed up, and don't worry, he will follow up. Trump performed magnificently. Despite his stilted delivery of the jokes, Trump made his points because the jokes were so cleverly written that delivery was secondary to the not-so-subliminal messages laced within them. Further, let's face it: with the Left, the jokes practically write themselves. What Americans witnessed yet again is that has no fear going into the belly of the beast. As with the NABJ, Trump joined these New York elites on their turf knowing that they hate him more than they hate Vladimir Putin. Still, Trump "showed up and he showed out". Trump reminded these smug Leftist New Yorkers of their past with him. Trump displayed the billionaire bad boy side of himself that he was noted for, prior to getting into the blood sport of actual politics. Trump reminded the crowd that long before many of their careers were built, he was a New York institution. And still is.
[SEGMENT 2-4] Trump at Al Smith Dinner 4 Trump showed humility where he needed none. Because he was bigger than they in the past, and he even bigger and badder than ever. As Trump delivered in one of his joke, I don't need to take shots at myself.
