As 42 million Americans missed their first food assistance payment Saturday amid the ongoing government shutdown, President Trump attended a Great Gatsby–themed Halloween party at his Mar-a-Lago resort — sparking outrage from critics who described the event as ‘tone deaf.”
“Trump and Rubio at the Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party, on day 31 of the shutdown,” wrote Danny Kemp, the White House correspondent for AFP, in a social media post on X Friday night. “Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody,’ we’re told.”
Critics couldn’t help but point out the irony of the theming of the party, based on the 1925 novel that offers a sharp critique of social and economic inequality seen during the Gilded Age in the late 19th century, which was fraught with corporate and government corruption.
