President Donald Trump has attended his second extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago in a week as tens of thousands of federal employees go without pay, leaving some of them, and many more Americans, to turn to food banks amid the longest government shutdown in history.
Images of the president were shared by guests on social media Friday at the lavish event which featured a three-course menu of beef filet, truffle dauphinoise, pan-seared scallops and a trio of desserts including Trump chocolate cake.
Trump was seen dining at a table surrounded by MAGA supporters, and posing with his thumbs up next to women in ballgowns. The event also featured ice sculptures and an opera performance.
Around the same time Friday, the Trump administration was allowed to continue only partially funding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program after an order from the Supreme Court blocked the decision of a lower court which had required the government to fully fund SNAP, otherwise known as food stamps.

They are gleeful about the suffering they are causing. That's why they are partying.

I'm only a year younger than him, but I'm determined to live long enough to piss on his grave. I'm certain that line will be much longer than even the ones that stretch a thousand yards from the food banks struggling to feed those whose SNAP benefits he stole.
$40 billion for the fellow dictator destroying Argentina, but not a penny for those less fortunate IN HIS OWN FUCKING COUNTRY!
God, I hate this subhuman monster, and every one of his supporters.
