"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."

"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."
