Former President Donald Trump used his speech at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner to attack his political rivals. Trump commented on VP Kamala Harris's absence, saying she laughs like crazy. Trump made transphobic comments during his speech, joking about Senator Chuck Schumer becoming the first woman president and mocking Governor Tim Walz menstruating about Democrats' stance on gender identity.
