I guess none of this surprises me. Like most dictators, he lives high on the hog while his people suffer.
For what it is worth, I believe that you will find that most heads of countries live very well, whether or not the country is rich or poor, and whether or not the people suffer or thrive.
I would be unsurprised to see such similarly expensive fare served to the heads of the most dirt-poor countries on earth whether or not they are elected.
