"What about the split screen of the fact that the Trump administration is administering only part of the SNAP program while President Trump is having a Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago? Garcia asked. I reject the premise of the question, Johnson replied. Let me talk about SNAP. Ok, by the way, the president had an annual Halloween-themed party every year at Mar-a-Lago. That's what he went back to: his obligatory tradition. And I just discount what you're trying to do there."
"On Friday, Trump threw a bash at Mar-a-Lago amid the ongoing government shutdown and one day before funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program was scheduled to run out. An Associated Press reporter relayed that the theme is Gatsby and a little party never killed nobody.' Recipients of food assistance under the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program were slated to see those benefits lapse Saturday, Nov. 1. On Friday, two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use contingency funds to keep SNAP afloat."
President Trump hosted a Gatsby-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding neared lapse during the government shutdown. Benefits were slated to run out Nov. 1 for recipients of the federal SNAP program, which served 41.7 million people last year. Two federal judges ordered the administration to use contingency funds to maintain SNAP, and the president indicated on Truth Social he would act if judges instructed how to proceed. The White House announced partial food benefits would be sent. Mike Johnson dismissed a reporter's premise linking the party to SNAP decisions and defended mitigation efforts.
