Trump makes characteristic start to 2018 with lavish party at Mar-a-Lago

The Guardian ^ | Mon 1 Jan ‘18 10.55 EST | Donald Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, arrive for a New Year’s Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago

Donald Trump gathered his social and political clan around him at his opulent Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to welcome in the New Year in classic Trumpian style.

“It will be a fantastic 2018,” a tuxedoed Trump said, as he entered the gilded ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, accompanied by first lady Melania Trump and son Barron, and predicted the stock market would continue to rise and businesses would come to the US at “a rapid clip”.

The US president cited what he considered to be signal accomplishments, including opening the Arctic national wildlife refuge to oil drilling, tax reform and scrapping individual health insurance requirements.

Asked for his reaction to North Korea leader Kim Jong-un’s remarks about having a nuclear button on his desk, Trump responded by saying, “We’ll see.”

His comments followed the release of a self-congratulatory three-and-a-half minute video earlier in the day that offered a summary of what Trump felt were the high points of his first year in office.

Please spell the President’s name correctly - starting with “T”. He is not a synonym for Hillary/Obama!

Big Media had to stop reporting on the Fraud’s WEEKLY lavish parties with Harvey Weinstein enablers.

More English Leftie BS.

[Steely Tom]

Nice headline. No need to proofread.

[LydiaLong]

Hey Lefties, get a clue for 2018. Being anti-Trump is not a winning strategy. Jump on the Trump Train or keep lying on the tracks.

I already asked the moderator to fix it dweeb.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I immediately asked the moderator to fix it, airhead.

[BenLurkin]

Classy President; for the first time in a LONG time.

Must rankle the Pinkos to no end.

Geez, just last week the lame stream media was whining about President Trump not having any State dinners in his first year:

No State Dinners

I also remember when the press complained about the lack of parties in the George W. Bush White House, and the fact that alcohol would not be served.

[yoe]

"He is not a synonym for Hillary/Obama!"

Amen!

[Steely Tom]

I already asked the moderator to fix it dweeb.

I prefer "weeb."

It was an obvious copy-and-paste error to anyone with two brain cells in a row.

[Pollster1]

Dweeb and I assumed that, but we have to rag on you anyways. This is FR. It’s tradition.

Who said it wasn't obvious?

Something else is obvious, too.

[Waverunner]

Hey Guardian, we refer to him as PRESIDENT Trump, and you should refer to him as The PRESIDENT of the United States of America , Donald Trump. Forget your snide lefty demeaning of our election results. And exactly what does your marxist socialist rag guard anyway? BTW, great new years party.

[Pollster1]

Sorry. Should have been:

“Weeb and I assumed that, but we have to rag on you anyways. This is FR. It’s tradition.”

[trebb]

I wonder where the criticism was when Obama had private concerts by America-hating performers - then it was all a “return to Camelot”.....

[I want the USA back]

The leftist rag should write about the excesses of their boy bammy, not about Trump.

[streetsmart]

The article attempts to say PDJT thru the party for himself. It was my understanding this was the annual New Years party for the club members. Admission was $750 per couple. Doubt Trump would charge for someone to attend his private party.
