Asked about potential candidates for his administration, Donald Trump said he’s constantly thinking about who will make up his team.

Kamala Harris’ absence at AI Smith dinner sparks criticism by Donald Trump
Donald Trump attended the white-tie event on Thursday, October 17, in New York, alongside prominent figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr and his wife Cheryl Hines. Yet, Harris’ decision to send a pre-taped message instead of attending in person did not sit well with the former president.
Traditionally, this dinner is a must-attend for candidates from both parties, marking the last time they appear together before Election Day. Since 1945, the Al Smith dinner has been a hallmark of bipartisan unity and light-hearted roasting.
It was "disrespectful to our great Catholic community," he said, noting that she is the first major-party candidate to miss the event in person. The last time such a snub occurred was in 1984, when Democrat Walter Mondale missed the event—and he later lost the election in a landslide to Ronald Reagan. Trump was quick to draw the comparison, pointing out Mondale’s defeat.
Harris, who was in Wisconsin for a campaign event, opted for a video that featured 'Saturday Night Live' comedian Molly Shannon portraying her iconic Catholic schoolgirl character, Mary Katherine Gallagher. But for Trump, this wasn’t enough.
Donald Trump boasts about his presidency
When questioned by the 'Fox & Friends' hosts about regrets from his first presidency, Donald Trump didn’t shy away from reflecting on his choices. While he avoided naming specific individuals, he alluded to those he had let go from his administration, adding with a grin, "I know a lot about firing people."
Trump didn’t stop at criticizing Harris’ absence at the dinner. He doubled down on previous attacks, calling her a "low IQ person" and questioning her ability to lead the country. Harris, who has often been the target of the GOP presidential nominee's verbal barbs, was campaigning in the crucial swing state of Wisconsin at the time. Boasting of his four years in office, Trump claimed, "We had the greatest economy in history. We had the greatest border."
