“What do you do when you have a terrible approval rating?”

President Donald Trump’s decision to throw a Great Gatsby-themed Halloween party on the same day that SNAP benefits — a source of help for Americans on low incomes — expired has not gone down particularly well, and Jimmy Kimmel was quick to put it in the bluntest terms possible.

“What do you do when you have a terrible approval rating? You throw the most ill-timed, tone deaf Halloween party imaginable. Hours before millions of low income Americans are set to lose their SNAP benefits, Trump flew to Mar-a-Lago for a big Halloween bash with a Great Gatsby theme, which is a theme you would select only if you’ve never read The Great Gatsby,” the host says in the clip above.

“You know throwing a party at your private golf club where the theme is rich white people hours before millions of Americans are set to lose their food assistance might be the Trumpiest Trump move of all time. It felt like the last big bash before the Epstein files come out.”

Elsewhere Jon Stewart was similarly disgusted by the party, making his feelings clear on The Daily Show.
