A "Great Gatsby"-themed party was hosted by Trump at Mar-a-Lago, reportedly on the eve of or around the time that food stamp benefits were set to expire for millions of people. The party's timing has been noted in relation to the expiration of SNAP benefits, although the exact timing and number of people affected is not consistent across reports. The event has drawn attention and criticism, with some outlets describing it as lavish and others focusing on the contrast between the party and the expiration of food aid.
