President Trump hosted a “Great Gatsby”-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, at about the same time that his administration said it would send only partial payments for the food stamp program known as SNAP.
“On the very night SNAP benefits ended, Trump threw a ‘Great Gatsby’-themed ode to decadence and hedonism that even Jeffrey Epstein would’ve thought was a little over the top,” Jon Stewart said Monday.
“There were dancers, costumes and champagne — a wonderful celebration where the theme was apparently gross income inequality.” — JON STEWART
Late-night hosts also poked fun at Trump’s latest interior design project: redoing the bathroom in the Lincoln Bedroom in gold and marble.
“But if you’re worried you won’t be able to afford your next meal, good news: Donald Trump renovated a bathroom in the White House.” — SETH MEYERS
“I would love to know how Trump came to the conclusion that the changes were appropriate for the time of Lincoln. Does he think Abraham Lincoln was a high roller who loved gold trash cans?” — SETH MEYERS
“Every story I’ve heard about Lincoln is like, ‘He did his homework with a lump of coal on the back of a shovel in the pouring rain,’ or ‘Did you know he put himself through law school by eating mud for eight cents a day’? But to hear Trump talk, Lincoln was, what, best friends with Hugh Hefner?” — SETH MEYERS
“And, this is nice, the bathtub has a hot knob, a cold knob and a Diet Coke knob.” — JIMMY FALLON
