As per the original article:
President Donald Trump has attended his second extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago in a week as tens of thousands of federal employees go without pay, leaving some of them, and many more Americans, to turn to food banks amid the longest government shutdown in history.
Images of the president were shared by guests on social media Friday at the lavish event which featured a three-course menu of beef filet, truffle dauphinoise, pan-seared scallops and a trio of desserts including “Trump chocolate cake.”
Trump was seen dining at a table surrounded by MAGA supporters, and posing with his thumbs up next to women in ballgowns. The event also featured ice sculptures and an opera performance.
Around the same time Friday, the Trump administration was allowed to continue only partially funding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program after an order from the Supreme Court blocked the decision of a lower court which had required the government to fully fund SNAP, otherwise known as food stamps.
SNAP funds, which are distributed by the federal government to states each month, support the nation’s largest anti-hunger program. The funding freeze has left some 42 million Americans who rely on the program facing delays to critical payments.
Food pantries across the country are warning that they are not prepared to support the millions of families that rely on government assistance.
Tens of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed or are being forced to work without pay, with many long-serving civil servants turning to food banks, according to reports.
“I used to be a grants administrator, administrator of grants across the federal government, giving assistance, and now I’m in line requesting assistance,” federal worker, Anthony Speight, told NBC News as he attended a food bank in Washington D.C., adding that he “never thought” he would be put in this position.
The Mar-a-Lago bash was the second Friday in a row that the president has spent celebrating at his private Palm Beach club surrounded by MAGA supporters.
“Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party while SNAP benefits were about to disappear for 42 million Americans,” said California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in a post on X. “He does not give a damn about you.”
On Saturday, Newsom again shared an AI-generated image portraying Trump as France’s Marie Antoinette – symbolizing selfish luxury while people go hungry. His press office captioned the post: “GOOD NIGHT, PEASANTS!”
What is it with these assholes and beef? There are other foods!
And somehow I was down voted by Americans for comparing Trump to a maniac absolutistic king…
I mean the parallels to Luis XIV should be quite obvious, isn’t it?
Oh for fuck’s sake. “Trump chocolate cake”?!
Any other menu in any other restaurant, when someone’s name is attached to a menu item it’s because there’s something about it, a tweak to the recipe, the presentation, it celebrates that person or they’re known for it for some reason…
What I’m trying to say is that I’m pretty sure that the people at this party must’ve been eating chocolate cake that was shaped like piles of shit.
“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”
The whole point of Trump’s great banquet hall extention of the White House is so he can hold his lavish extravaganzas there at our taxpayers expense.
All he has to do is walk over there instead of taking jets in full public view which is a great way to hide his failing health.
And the swamp is drained! Wait that was yesterday’s chant. Now we hate the libs right? See how long that one carries us, we’ll figure out the next one when we need to.
Let them eat Trump chocolate cake
Displays of opulence only reveals that super rich as tacky.
All that money, power and status but STILL can’t afford class.
Well the more cake he eats the sooner….
MAGA is gonna huddle up and be like, “Alright everybody, how do we justify this one?”
The luxuries of the rich requires the immiseration of the poor.
As long as masses vie to pit against each other for crumbs, in lieu of struggling for justice and equality……nothing will fundamentally change.
Anyone else totally grossed out by the thought of what’s in “trump chocolate cake?”
Hard pass…
A real champion of the working man! Remember, a little over half the voting population thought the fake billionaire was relatable and cared about their affordability issues. I’m honestly not sure who I’m pissed off more at, the wannabe dictator – who said everything he was going to do, or the ignorant fucks that voted for him? The answer is obviously yes.
What makes the chocolate cake “trump”? Does it have shit in it?
Louis XIV would be proud!
Every single attendee is evil. End of. Pure evil
I’ve just gone down a rabbit hole on why the French revolution happened. And they are fair and comparison is structurally valid: Trump hosting lavish events while millions face food insecurity during a government shutdown mirrors the symbolic disconnect that fueled the French Revolution. It’s not identical, but the contrast between elite indulgence and public suffering is historically resonant. After reading the artcle it seems Gavon Newsom had same idea ! With his tweet!
giving real “let them eat cake” vibes. What did we do to Marie Antoinette again?
The poors are upset? Well, let them eat Trump chocolate cake!
Gross.
Also, his hair has a weird flat thing going on lately.
Also, release the damn files
Did he call it the “Let Them Eat Cake” party?
I know these articles keep getting posted but Trump honestly doesn’t care. He doesn’t see an issue with it.
How many conversations at this party do you think happened which absolutely ripped on democrats for what is currently happening
I saw the video of trump dropping off his chocolate cake on US citizens
Almost like a doctor told him he has some specific amount of time left, so he’s throwing himself some parties.
How much are they charged for dinner?
Is trump chocolate cake a euphemism for the shit sandwich hes serving up to the country?
What a fat lardass
Republicans be honest. If this a anyone else you’d be dragging this guy outta office. Look in the mirror. Say you made a mistake make peace with it and come to not the blue side, but rather the side of the constitution and The UNITED States.
Didn’t the media shit on Obama for getting dijon mustard?
This is how you get Communists
Is the “Trump chocolate cake” served out of a diaper?
I like the way this is heading.
Trump is no student of history.
No student of anything.
But you’d think someone close to him would try to impart the history of the French Revolution.
My hope is he repeats the same ending.
