Really awkward dead silence following some of Trump's "jokes" and then the booing, too, at this event. I winced at the crassness of his supposedly funny statements, too.

Donald Trump forgot to bring the funny at the #AlSmithDinner, and was met with a chorus of boos.

Giuliani didn't have such a great night either. Looks like he ate some bad fish.
