Trump Throws Great Gatsby-Themed Halloween Bash Amid Looming Food Assistance Crisis

President Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday, just a few hours before funding for federal food assistance for millions of low-income Americans was set to lapse.

Associated Press White House Correspondent Danny Kemp posted a photo from the party, showing guests decked out in Roaring ’20s attire. The photo features Trump dressed in regular 2020s attire.

“Trump and Rubio at the Mar-a-Lago Halloween Party, on day 31 of the shutdown,” Kemp tweeted. “Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.” The photo shows Trump sitting at a table with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
