Marie Antoinette would be so proud.
While millions of people have had their food assistance funds withheld Trump held a lavish Halloween party. As the White House said “No one ever died from a party”. That is a real quote. Lots of billionaires and lowly millionaires were in attendance as well as scantly clad women dancing in large champagne glasses. Trump was asked by the few media who were allowed to attend about the optics of him having such a lavish party while millions of kids go hungry. Trump couldn’t resist to quote Maria Anoinette “Let them eat cake”.
Actually Marie never said that. Any idiot with a cell phone could google it. From Brittanicca:
“Let them eat cake” is the most famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread. Because cake is more expensive than bread, the anecdote has been cited as an example of Marie-Antoinette’s obliviousness to the conditions and daily lives of ordinary people.
Marie Antoinette was executed by beheading by guillotine and by the way Trump never said that but I bet it was on the tip of his tongue. Rotten bastard.
