NBC News exit polls from Tuesday’s elections showed voters are deeply worried about pocketbook issues and the direction of the country.

Ahead of Tuesday’s elections, Donald Trump assured Americans that prices are coming down, the economy is picking up and the nation is flourishing in ways that make it the world’s envy.

Voters don’t seem to be buying it.

Democrats swept key races, as exit polls depicted an electorate gripped by fears that the U.S. is careening in the wrong direction, far from Trump’s glowing portrait of a nation ascendant.

    Over the weekend, Trump appeared at a “Great Gatsby”-themed party at his Mar-a-Lago resort, an event that produced a viral video of a partially dressed woman dancing in an oversized martini glass. Guests mingled at the oceanside estate — some in Roaring ‘20s attire — at a time when many furloughed federal employees are working without pay.

    A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, dismissed criticism of the party.

    “It’s a Halloween party,” the official said. “We aren’t supposed to celebrate Halloween?”

    Jesus christ, this impending revolution is writing itself hahaha

      “It’s a Halloween party,” the official said. “We aren’t supposed to celebrate Halloween?”

      Kind of avoiding the main point of the criticism there.
