US EditionTrump Throws ‘Gatsby’-Themed Gala as SNAP Benefits Expire
While SNAP funding lapsed for 42 million Americans, Trump hosted a lavish Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago, drawing bipartisan criticism for ignoring urgent food assistance needs.
- On November 1, President Donald Trump attended a Halloween 'Great Gatsby' themed party at his Mar‑a‑Lago residence as funding for SNAP ended amid the government shutdown.
- The ongoing government shutdown forced SNAP funding to lapse, sparking federal legal challenges Friday that led judges to order emergency funds released before the November 1 cutoff.
- John Oliver criticized President Trump during his opening monologue, slamming the Great Gatsby party optics as CNN framed it as 'about rich people partying' while California Governor Gavin Newsom accused Trump of prioritizing wealthy allies over Americans.
- White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told The Independent that `Democrats are full of it`, while President Donald Trump said he wants courts to `clarify` funding options and wrote `it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding` if legally directed.
- Some 42 million Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, receiving roughly $188 per person per month, and a lapse would be the first in SNAP's 60‑year history.
