I know cheap champagne is pretty inexpensive these days, but it still seems a bit #GreatGatsby for everyone to be sipping bubbly at the start of #Drupalcon while the economy is slumping and more and more people are losing their jobs.

#GreatGatsby is actually The President's wet dream.
I wonder how many times he read it.

tbh, from the pic, I thought it was a #GreatGatsby reference

Someone earlier today ptd out it was highly suggestive that Trump chose to have his #GreatGatsby soirée during the #WorldSeries b/c 1 of the book's main characters, Meyer Wolfsheim, was based on Arnold Rothstein - notorious gambler & gangster widely rumored to have fixed the #1919WorldSeries, which was itself a key event in the novel's plot.

It's like Trump poking his finger in the public's eye saying "you bet I'm a gangster - and what're you gonna do about it?"

"Meanwhile, more than 1 million federal employees were furloughed or worked without pay amid a five-week-old government shutdown, some of them joining previously fired public servants at food banks. The online People magazine juxtaposed a photo of Trump surveying his Palm Beach party with a shot of nearby Miamians in a food line."

"The president of the United States held court at Mar-a-Lago, amid free-flowing liquor and tables laden with food, hours before federal food aid would end for 42 million Americans."

Column: Trump's tone-deaf displays are turning off voters

The president faced poetic comeuppance after his ostentatious party: a blue wave in Tuesday’s elections.

Los Angeles Times

"It was a revel of moral blindness — an orgy of delusion and bad taste. Here was the 'champion of the forgotten man,' presiding over a pageant of excess, surrounded by lackeys dressed as the very elites he pretends to despise. ...

Trump has made himself the perfect emblem of our age: rich in spectacle, bankrupt in soul, and utterly incapable of shame."

"Trump’s 'Gatsby' gala wasn’t homage but autopsy — a champagne-soaked dirge for a nation that once believed in class, grace, and conscience. ...

Trump, the man who once wrapped himself in the mantle of populism, threw a party mocking the very people who once believed him."

When Gatsby Met Garbage: Trump’s Decadent Death Rattle of the American Dream

Trump’s “Great Gatsby” party was a grotesque display of excess and delusion — proof that America’s self-proclaimed populist has become its most vulgar elite.
