Donald Trump turned cheering of the guests to booing at a
fundraising dinner on Thursday night, as he directly attacked Hillary Clinton in a scathing
speech.
The dinner, a staple fixture towards the end of recent
presidential campaigns, is normally embraced by candidates as an opportunity to
showcase self-deprecating humour and land lighthearted jabs on their
opponent.
Diners on Thursday however booed for the first time in years
as Trump missed the mark with his bruising put-downs.
The Republican candidate was first to speak at the Alfred E.
Smith Memorial Foundation dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York,
taking to the microphone after an icy encounter with his opponent before
dinner.
He started well, sending the room into roaring laughter with
an unexpectedly self-deprecating sense of humor.
They turned on him when his jokes evolved to insults, accusing
Clinton of 'hating Catholics' and 'corruption'.
