As SNAP payments are halted in the US, Trump hosts a "Gatsby" themed gala at Merde-a-Lago
Against a news photo background of Trump welcoming guests to his party are several quotes (in white text) from "The Great Gatsby"


“There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind.”

“Flushed with his impassioned gibberish, he saw himself
standing alone on the last barrier of civilization"

“They were careless people ... they smashed up things and 
creatures and then retreated back into their money.”

"They conducted themselves according to the rules of
behavior associated with an amusement park.”

“What we want to believe trumps what is real.”

“The glittering facade of wealth conceals a hollow core.”

@realDonaldTrump

I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea
who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things
they're saying and some of the things they're
saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.
Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have
nothing to do with them.

Post: Donald J. Trump @ +
@realDonaldTrump

I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025
Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most
of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and
whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t
believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented
opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their
way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT
AGAIN! President DJT

From Bluesky:
Post :  If a democrat was assassinated could you
imagine what would be going on right now?

Post in response: Yes. I can. Because it happened literally 3 months ago. And guess what? Democrats called for gun reform and right wingers mace jokes about it. Trump said calling anybody to give his condolences would be a waste of time and then skipped the funeral. So
we don't have to imagine. It literally just happened. And not a single person on the left called for a war, or called for the Republican party to be labeled a domestic terrorist organization. You cared so little that you don't even remember it.
