Trump held a Great Gatsby themed Halloween party at Mar a Lago on 31st October.
It seems unlikely that Trump has read F Scott Fitzgerald’s book which describes the US capitalist class in the 1920s and does so critically
“They were careless people — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
F Scott Fitzgerald, the Great Gatsby
Thanks to the Trump inspired shut down of politics on Capitol Hill food stamps (in effect food banks) for 42m American ends on 1st November, behaviour which F Scott Fitzgerald understood well.
