As the federal government shutdown stretches into a fifth week,
President Trump has refrained from taking an active role in negotiating a path to reopen the government.
He spent the weekend at his Florida club,
as NPR's Sam Gringlas reports from West Palm Beach, Florida.
At opening weekend for the winter season at Mar-a-Lago, the Friday night Halloween party was themed,
A Little Party Never Killed Nobody, a song from the Great Gatsby movie.
Guests in sequins,
fedoras and feathers dined on the patio as dancers in showgirl costumes performed.
Just before,
Trump posted on True Social that he would be honored to keep snap benefits flowing after a pair of federal court orders.
The funds were set to run out on Saturday.
When Trump arrived at the Trump International Golf Club,
someone held up a sign that said, release snap dollars.
