"On the very night SNAP benefits ended, Trump threw a Great Gatsby-themed owed to decadent and hedonism that even Jeffrey Epstein would have thought was a little over the top. There were dancers, costumes, and champagne, a wonderful celebration where the theme was apparently "gross income inequality." The slogan of the party as people were losing their food benefits was, I shit you not, "A Little Party Never Killed Anyone.""
"Did you even read The Great Gatsby? Spoiler alert: The party killed somebody! Two somebodys! How do you not know that? I know that and I've only read the Cliff Notes. The Great Gatsby is a cautionary tale, Usually in a time of national suffering there's a generally accepted principal of leadership that you at least pretend to feel the pain of the people you represent,"
"but this president seems to go out of his way to let struggling Americans know that he is doing very fell. Your premiums may be going up, tariffs may be shutting down your small business, you may be losing your food assistance, but it will all be OK because Donald Trump is building a ballroom that looks like the inside of Marie Antoinette's vagina."
President Trump hosted a Great Gatsby–themed party at Mar-a-Lago on the same night that 42 million Americans lost access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits amid a government shutdown. The event featured dancers, costumes, champagne, and a party slogan, "A Little Party Never Killed Anyone," coinciding with the end of food assistance for many. The event was characterized as decadent hedonism and a display of gross income inequality. Administration officials struggled to explain missed SNAP payments in public clips, while conservative media segments argued that SNAP benefits are often misused.
