5. Alfred E. Smith Event
An event that was entertaining in the past, the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation’s white-tie event, which is traditionally attended by the major nominees, was surprisingly controversial this year. Typically a place where the guests of honors speak in front of the crowd and gently roast themselves as well as their opponent, this is not an event to give your typical stump speech.
If anyone told Donald that he clearly didn’t listen. After opening up strong and lampooning his wife’s speech that plagiarized one Michelle Obama gave previously, things went awry fast. Opting to take shots at Hillary that went against the spirit of the event, he was actually booed at a charitable white-tie event which can be seen here.
