"My response is that the Democrats should reopen the government, Bessent said. And, you know, I believe President Obama played a record amount of golf of any president. So, you know, I'm not sure why he's out there throwing stones. And you know that it's unfortunate: We've got 52 Republican senators who have voted to reopen the government, two brave Democrats. And I'm calling here on five moderate Democrats to be heroes. Let's reopen the government."
"Obama told the crowd that Trump has been focused on some critical issues, like paving over the Rose Garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes, and building a $300 million ballroom. And if you don't get an invitation to the next White House shindig, you can always watch the festivities on Trump's live feed on Truth Social."
"The lavish party based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1920's masterpiece The Great Gatsby, was slammed by Democrats on social media, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) posting to social media, Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party while SNAP benefits were about to disappear for 42 million Americans. He does not give a damn about you."
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent responded to questions about the optics of President Trump's lavish Great Gatsby–themed party at Mar-a-Lago amid a prolonged government shutdown by shifting blame to Democrats and urging them to reopen the government. The party drew criticism on social media, including a message from California Governor Gavin Newsom noting SNAP benefits for millions at risk. Jake Tapper played a clip of Barack Obama mocking recent construction projects and a $300 million ballroom, and Tapper asked Bessent about Republican concerns over optics while many Americans face hardship. Bessent cited GOP reopen votes and criticized Obama’s golf record while calling for moderate Democrats to act.
