WATCH: Paul Ryan Roasts Trump, Chuck Schumer & Others at Political Dinner

Paul Ryan roasted Donald Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other political figures at an annual political charity dinner in New York.


The House Speaker was on a roll, seemingly polishing his standup routine and hurling his best jabs with aplomb. It was fair game, and even Trump took a few hits.

Ryan served as the keynote speaker for the 72nd annual charity dinner for the Alfred E. Smith Foundation, which traditionally assembles political rivals for a night of tongue-in-cheek insults.

The speaker certainly had a lot to say.

"Look at all the new jobs the president has created, just among the White House staff," he ribbed, referring to the assembly line resignations inside the White House.

Attendees egged him on with many rounds of applause.

Some of the highlights included this swipe at Trump from the dinner last year:

I know last year that Donald Trump offended some people. I know his comments, according to critics, went too far. Some said it was unbecoming of a public figure. And they said that his comments were offensive. Well, thank God he's learned his lesson."

He lambasted the Senate Minority Leader:

"A lot of people, they ask me, you know, a guy from Wisconsin, what's it like to work on a daily basis with an abrasive New Yorker with a loudmouth? But you know once you get to know him, Chuck Schumer's not all that bad. I know why he's been so hard on the President, actually. It has nothing to do with ideology. You see, Chuck's mad that he lost his top donor."

He and Sarah Palin share something in common:

This one was for Hillary:

"I'm from Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a fantastic place to visit in the fall. Looking back, someone probably should have told Hillary Clinton that fact."

Steve Bannon got a mention:

"The fact that you learn when you're speaker: I am now second in line of succession since Steve Bannon has resigned. Very cool, very close."

When Trump criticized Ryan, his response was this:

"You know, at one point, the President actually insulted me. I know that sounds kind of surprising. He described me as a Boy Scout who was boring to talk to. It didn't hurt my feelings. What hurt my feelings was when my wife agreed with him."

While the crowd responded favorably to Ryan's routine, there was some heckling from the Internet.

While others found Paul Ryan quite amusing.

Trump's Commencement Speech Claim That The U.S. Is 'Hot' Right Now Turns Into Hilariously Brutal Self-Own

President Donald Trump's attempt to smear the Biden administration turned into a self-own while he spoke at the commencement ceremony for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy this week.

Trump spoke as several hundred protesters gathered outside Coast Guard Academy campus in New London, Connecticut. During the nearly hour-long address to cadets and their families, he alternated between praising the graduating class of 2026 and revisiting familiar themes about what he described as the country’s recovery after a period of decline.

ChatGPT Response Appears To Make It Into School Textbook—And We're Doomed

Students are being actively discouraged from using ChatGPT and other AI-generation tools, as they are expected to learn their educational concepts and be able to put them into practice. They are also not supposed to use these tools while writing papers or during at-home tests.

Given how expensive grade school and college textbooks are, it is reasonable that educational writers and content professionals should be held to the same standards. Wouldn't it make sense for them to use the knowledge of their field, rather than what's been fed into ChatGPT, to make a textbook a worthwhile purchase for students?
