Gatsby themed party the same week UPS, Amazon, and Target lay off thousands and hours before millions lose food stamps is absolutely tone-deaf. Reading the room has never been their strong suit, but this is Hoover level obliviousness. https://t.co/E6nSyXfUzc

Very funny how low media literacy is in some conservative political circles. Because one of the core themes in The Great Gatsby is that ACTUALLY a little party can and has killed several people lmao https://t.co/ff8CgvxbvS

Great Gatsby parties and polished marble bathrooms for Trump. Empty fridges and layoffs for everybody else.
This guy doesn’t care one bit. https://t.co/GWQpmwYvxn

Last night, Trump hosted a lavish, Great Gatsby themed party, for his wealthy friends, at his Palm Beach resort.
This morning there are 18 million children that may not get a full meal because Trump refuses to fund SNAP benefits.
These people are not students of history. pic.twitter.com/r80azaeA6b

Roaring 20s party at the golf resort you have to pay a $200K fee to join while bragging about all the marble you slapped in a bathroom at the WH which you’re “renovating” w/a $350M ballroom funded by corporations + billionaires DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
