President Trump held a lavish Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago Friday, just hours before an estimated 42 million people lost SNAP benefits across the country. Kirk Curnutt, the executive director of the international F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, says that while "Gatsby is famous for its lavish party scenes, [what] people often miss is that the entire thrust of the book is to critique that conspicuous consumption and the wastage that goes on in these sorts of events."

The ticket of the night was the Gatsby theme Party at Mar-a-Lago this Halloween. While the rich adorned themselves in feathers and sequins, and dined on filet mignon, SNAP benefits to the poor were cut by the very man who played host to this tone deaf display of cruel conspicuous consumption.
Irony of the evening, none of the guests had likely even read the book. Or ANY book.
Allegedly, after the party, Gatsbys pals, Disaster Tourists Tom and Daisy Buchannan, booked passage on the Titanic.
"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me."

(29,070 posts)The AI images took hours to generate. The script and song are mine. I am able with assistance to create these videos fairly quickly. The reason I use jarheads is that AI community standards do not allow mocking public figures. I found a way to work around the censorship. Not at all concerned to use AI to help make anti-Trump videos. In fact, it makes the work more fun. And no copyright issues. Thanks for watching.
