Is it possible that Trump's Gatsby party really did include such a thing?!

Some MAGA accounts falsely claimed this didnât actually happen. They are wrong once again.

(31,904 posts)But Trump is fixated on all things 1970ish. This sort of performance was pretty much standard fare for "strippers" of that era, "dancing" in an over sized champagne glass. Even to the point that it was a standard icon of the Playboy one liner jokes page near the centerfold.

I think there was a performer Dita von Teese? who tried to bring it back as classic burlesque in the early 2000s.

It fits with his entire personality.
Why it might not be a deep fake... at the very end you see the camera pan across the crowd to find another performer with very large feathers doing the classic burlesque 'fan' dance. Yet another staple of the strippers of the last 1960s and early 1970s ( actually going back quite a bit further than that ). And it fits with the Great Gatsby theme of the night. sort of.
Anyway, Trump doesn't care about the norms of the Presidency. This would be a new low in crude public Presidential behavior.

(132,427 posts)the comments about the person's possible age, there were references to a playboy magazinne drawing of a woman in a martini glass, and also a pic of Taylor Swift in a cocktail glass. One would think that, as much as the sick fuck seems to loathe her, he would not be copying her.

(106,197 posts)A little party never killed nobody, was the official theme of the costume party, in a reference to a song featured from the film adaptation of F Scott Fitzgeralds 1925 novel.
It took place the night before funding ended for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which is relied on by some 42 million people in the US, amid the shutdown that has paralysed the government for more than 30 days.
Photographs from inside the event show a burlesque dancer posed inside a gigantic gilded Martini glass, a huge ice sculpture and a seemingly endless spread of opulent desserts.

While they wouldn't always support Trump, the Telegraph can be on his side, so I don't think they'd just assume it without some checking.
