Tone deaf? This dude couldn’t care less as long as he gets his picture taken in some shitty, gaudy gold candy wrapper foiled room.
Is this Trump’s “Let Them Eat Cake” moment? Where’s Jean Valjean when you need him?
The party’s theme was a very intentional choice, just like the giant ballroom. America is moving back to the age of the robber barons.
The Gilded Shit Age is reaching its zenith.
I’m not sure if it’s tone-deaf so much as deliberately, gleefully rubbing people’s noses in it.
Trivia: It was two years and eight months from the last party at Versailles to the beheading of Louis XVI.
Hopefully at some point one of these extravagant displays of luxury will become the “Let them eat cake!” moment.
When peasants were threatened with starvation they didn’t roll over like we do today pacified by consumer goods; they overthrew the royals…
Tone deaf? This shit was intentional. They knew exactly what they were doing and they did it to make liberals cry.
Instead of focusing on the dumb theme focus on the fact they had the party at all.
our fellow Americans who continue to support and celebrate trump, best described as Completely Under Control of King Donald, would rather have 4 years of lavish balls (that they would never be invited to) than have universal healthcare, housing, or nourishment for their neighbors.
historically, hating anything approaching communism or socialism tracks for your average american… but I did think hating oligarchy, monarchs, tyrants was more or less foundational for calling yourself a true patriot.
the republican party, Saudi Arabi and Israel are not allies to the citizens of the USA! All three entities KILL AMERICAN CITIZENS without remorse and hesitation!
Celebrating the starvation death of Americans is what the donors of Citizens United and Project 2025 are eagerly awaiting! The donors knew in July of 2023, Americans would be killed by American Troops for them and kept sending billions!
And he said *Les Misérables* is one of his favorites.
Republicans
The ***Let them eat cake*** party
That’s because he’s a WINNER! /s
We have already exceeded the levels of wealth disparity from the last gilded age, so this is right on brand for our oligarch overlords.
Our ~75 years of unprecedented growth of the middle class, improvements in productivity and technology, and improvement of social mobility and civil rights is all tied to the massive destruction of wealth controlled by societal elites in the market crash, depression, and world wars. C.f. the work of Thomas Piketty.
Allowing wealth to have accumulated to this extent again is a major driver of why we are where we are in terms of the collapse of democracy and rise of authoritarianism.
How does shit like this not bother average republican people?
This is beyond belief. You have to be a complete and utter moron to not see the problem with this.
Yes, Eat and fatten up. We want you nice and plump for when the people start eating the rich.
Clearly he doesn’t give a shit about the regular people.
At this point, will we even get to vote him out?
And the thing is, he still looks like a miserable villain. Trump you can get your ballroom, fancy bathroom and all the golf trips- you will never be happy.
A Gatsby party? It’s been a long time since I read that book in 7th grade English class.
What happened to Gatsby again?
He is an evil shit stain what else do you expect him to do?
There’s a big difference between being tone deaf and just not caring
Since when does a pedophile care about the suffering of others?
Notice in the photo he throws a Gatsby themed party but still shows up dressed as a clown.
Ironic considering one of Gatsby’s main themes is the reckless steamrolling of the rich and entitled over the common people.
