Trump attends another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago as thousands, including government employees, hit food banks in shutdown
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.

Unrelated. Does anyone have a list of poisons that are undetectable in an autopsy? It's for a friend.
Does it matter if it's detectable? When he dies it's gonna be a conspiracy that he was murdered anyways.
There's also gonna be conspiracy theories that he's alive and in hiding
People had far less evidence to go on for JFK and there are still people who think he's out there, running things.
He will be the new Elvis.
I was thinking of Hitler
you're always thinking of hitler
You're right, I should have said undetectable to the flavor, but it was a joke and I didn't give it much thought.
Nothing that's going to dodge a tox screen, you would want to go accidental. I am a big supporter of some Visine in his coke, but some nitrates would probably cause a heart attack given his likely meds to deal with the swelling.
I've been saying for years that all it takes is one heroic McDonald's worker
What kind of friend are you?! /s
FOOF
He's gotta spend the money somewhere, so he can blame the Dems for the empty coffers in spite of tariff income.
Good! He's working HARD to Strip Children of Food and Parents and DESERVES this Extravagant break!
-A Republican who's been Standing in Line at a Food Bank for 2 Hours!
This is the kind of thing that leads to revolutions
They have been very vocal about being after that for a decade.
Looks like he wants things to accelerate for master Putin.
Secret Service and all white house staff should be sent home if the government is shutdown. You better fucking want it, if you shut down the government because you won’t have any protection or wait staff.
Let them eat cake
Let us feast upon richflesh
Gotta host it somewhere… Seems the White House has a little construction going on.
