"I came as Donald Trump. I didn’t have time to get — people spent a lot of time and money. Rich people. They spent nine hours getting ready. I had 10 minutes, so I came as Donald Trump."

Said Donald Trump, quoted in "'I Came as Donald Trump': The President Hosts a Luxury Halloween at Mar-a-Lago/President Trump attended his jungle-themed Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago dressed as a distinctly recognizable figure" (NYT).

Like all NYT links, this is a gift link, and this one has lots of pics from the Mar-a-Lago party, including pics of Donald Trump dressed as Donald Trump, along with rich people interpreting the theme of jungle.

I have heard that Trump might make Nicki Minaj his new press secretary. That would be amazing! I love it. Sexy and combative. Please do this.

I hope he got the extra long tie part correct.

"The party landed at a complicated political moment for the president, just days before the midterm elections."
Trump *lives* for complicated political moments! All his "moments" are political and fraught with complications!

Simpler to show up as ORANGE PUMPKIN

Looking at the photos, it seems the women have taken the adage "you can never be too rich or too thin" to heart. Wolfe's "Social X-rays" also comes to mind.

Loved the photos. Skimmed the text.

Not particularly good optics, rich people in their expensive costumes hobnobbing with other rich people celebrating the “devil’s holiday” as my fundamentalist Christian father called it. Average income Americans have trouble affording food and housing, while the imps cavort. Did Mar a Lago serve the $5000 hamburger?

LOL the retard Kamala/Biden/Obama/Clinton voter posts this comment with all of the self awareness you would expect from a democrat voter.

Beyonce gave a concert and 15 second endorsement to Kamala for a cool 1.5 mil. All the cool democrats were there!

But that kind of thing is cool when democrats do it!

Democrat voters are like clapping seals with rabies.

A presidency in decline is no way to run a country, much less a midterm election campaign. His numbers, like his second term, are unrecoverable. There are no successes to point to, no actionable agenda to promise. In desperation, the president has resorted to Santa-like promises of new business openings, oil pipelines and cash bonuses that are unlikely to ever materialize. But what may have worked in 2024 does not work in 2026, and voters don’t believe in Santa anymore. The "FAT ELVIS" end of the show, too old 80 year demented individual with unrecoverable policies and numbers ,time to move along folks NOTHING to see here. Two days to our Mid Term Party MY RIGHT WING BUDDY WILL BE PAYING FOR.PIZZA,CHICKEN WINGS AND SELTZER, he wont stiff me although he has a good role model known for that talent. :)

We should discuss the closing of the southern border and continued deportation of illegals. I'd vote for Trump once again on that singular issue.

There really is a dearth of twerking at Trump rallies. Maybe its' the pricing. At $500K per cheek, it pretty rich and apparently not real effective at sending the right message.

I don't think Trump does a very good version of Trump lately. The uncharacteristic profanity doesn't ring true to the character that DD loves so deeply.

Democrats complain about Trump being President. If they had come up with someone better, they wouldn't have that problem. Hint: Hillary, Joe, and Kamala don't fill the bill. Better luck next time.

bagoh20 म्हणाले...

Average Americans are the richest, freest, and most over-fed in the world, but we got an election coming up so for now, they are all homeless and nothing but skin and bones, and constantly threatened by white supremacists who can't even afford gas to get to the shooting range .

"Hillary, Joe, and Kamala don't fill the bill."

Think how hard it would be to find someone worse than who they put up lately. I don't understand how their system works. I know it's not democratic, and often skips voting altogether, but it somehow has been selecting the worst possible candidates. Obama was the transition. He could talk, but had zero accomplishments prior to running. After that it was no accomplishments and no talky good either.

Yeah, DD. You strike as the kind of guy who will welch on a bet. And be proud of it.

Double standards: Now you get twice as many !

Brilliant.

I looked at the photos. The spectrum went from garish to ghoulish. I don't think any of the photographed people will want to mount those photos on the Steinway in living room, but perhaps they got a kick from having their photo in NYT........It's a shame there weren't any starving peasants at the gates to be photographed. That would make a nice contrast to the pictures of those king crab chomping aristos celebrating their corrupt wealth. Well, maybe next year when the Depression happens.
