Gina Rinehart Spotted at Trump's Lavish Halloween Bash Amid US Government Shutdown
Australia's richest person, Gina Rinehart, was seen mingling with Donald Trump at a 1920s-themed Halloween party at the billionaire's Mar-a-Lago resort. The image, posted by former US attorney Jeanine Pirro, also captured Marco Rubio and One Nation leader Pauline Hanson.
Rinehart, who has been an outspoken supporter of Trump, was reportedly seen speaking to the president while he read from a piece of paper. Her attendance at the party comes as a federal government shutdown is underway in the United States, with Trump blaming "Radical Democrats" for refusing to reopen the government.
Trump's plans to build a $300m ballroom in the White House have been widely ridiculed, with comparisons to Marie Antoinette drawing parallels between his spending habits and those of the French monarch. Rinehart has also been vocal about her support for Trump-style policies in Australia, encouraging the Liberal party to adopt similar approaches.
Rinehart's attendance at the party highlights the ongoing connections between Australian politics and US conservatism. The mining billionaire has made it clear that she sees similarities between the two nations' conservative ideologies, citing "make America great" as a mantra for her own approach to governance in Australia.

. I mean, think about it - a federal government shutdown in the US and we're worried about who's attending a party with Donald Trump? Have we lost sight of what really matters here? It's easy to get caught up in the drama and spectacle, but at the end of the day, isn't that just a distraction from the real issues?
.
. and can we talk about the hypocrisy with trumps plans for the white house? i mean he's all about cutting govt spending but then wants to build a 300m ballroom lol what a total contradiction 
. anyway u gotta love how rinehart is riding the conservative wave across borders though, she's definitely a trailblazer in her own right 
It's definitely food for thought...
I mean, I get why she'd wanna support his style, but come on, $300m ballroom at the White House? That's just wild 
. And what's up with all these politicians having a Halloween bash? Shouldn't they be focusing on fixing the country instead of getting their costume on 
? Also, I don't think it's cool that Rinehart is using Trump's "make America great" mantra in Australia, it just sounds like she's trying to one-up him 
. And what about all the other Aussie politicians who aren't as bold as Rinehart? Are they just gonna sit back and let her be the face of Australian conservatism? 
I mean, who doesn't love a good party, right? And hey, it's not like she's ignoring the shutdown back home – maybe she's just taking a break from all the Aussie politics drama to have some fun. The fact that she's still super supportive of Trump's style policies is interesting too... maybe she really does see some common ground between their countries' conservative vibes? 
It's all so wild. And what's with the billionaire ballroom plans for the White House? 
It's all about connections and who's friends with whom, right? 
. And $300m ballroom in the White House? c'mon, Trump, you're already loaded 
.
. It's like, we're not that different from each other after all 
And now Gina Rinehart showing up with him like everything's cool. Don't get me wrong, she's got some good ideas about our economy in Aus but come on, this party looks like a total circus 
. I feel bad for Marco and Pauline, they must be cringing on the sidelines 
. Anyway, can we please focus on something more important than who's having a lavish Halloween party? 
Pauline Hanson and Marco Rubio hanging out with her too tho, that's some interesting company 
.
