Trump was rude and crude at Catholic event, but there were no nuns to slap his wrists, by Hal M. Brown, MSW

Trump got a few scattered laughs at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner which is a benefit for Catholic Charities, but from what I saw his rude and crude remarks were mostly met by stone faced people who were visible as he spoke and silence from the audience. There was none of the resonating laughter we hear when a politician makes self-deprecating jokes at this and other similar events.

I wonder if some of those on the dais and in the audience were thinking back to their Catholic school days when the langauge he used would have earned them a sharp slap on the wrist with a nun's ruler.
