President Donald Trump hosted another lavish party at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Friday as the longest federal government shutdown in history continues and millions of Americans are left without federal food benefits.

A menu posted online showed guests in Florida dining on steak, scallops and a dessert on the same day the Supreme Court ruled that the SNAP food program that 1 in 8 Americans rely on would not be fully funded amid the shutdown.

Party guests were seen wearing tuxedos and ball gowns and enjoyed a night of opera performances, according to The Daily Beast.

It is now the second Friday in a row that Trump has hosted a party at his Florida resort. Just hours before millions of Americans lost federal food aid earlier this month, Trump hosted a lavish “Great Gatsby”-themed party at his Mar-a-Lago resort. The theme of the night was “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody.”

“The Great Gatsby,” a 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, explores themes including the decline of the American dream and the corrosive power of wealth.

And on Saturday, Trump lashed out at Democrats in a post on Truth Social.
