Jubilation in DC as beaming Trump and Melania make triumphant return to capital for inaugural festivities
Daily Mail UK ^ | January 19, 2025 | Stephen M. Lepore

Donald Trump and wife Melania were all smiles as they watched a fireworks display at one of the many celebrations being held in the Washington, D.C., area ahead of the inauguration.

Trump marked his return to power with a celebration at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, about 30 miles outside Washington.

In addition to the First Couple, many of the major players in the Trump orbit were in attendance, including daughter and former senior advisor Ivanka, who was alongside her husband, Jared Kushner.

All of Trump's adult children and their partners were in attendance, with Don Jr. joined by his controversial new beau Bettina Anderson, while Tiffany was there with husband Michael Boulos, as well as Eric and wife Lara.

But all eyes were on Donald and Melania, who flashed rare smiles at each other as they watched the display.

The president-elect briefly addressed those in attendance, pointing out a few notable people, including Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Trump singled out his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who he called 'a great negotiator' after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal was agreed to.

Many favorites from Trump's playlist washed over those in attendance, including 'YMCA' - which The Village People will play for those gathered live this weekend - and 'A Man's, Man's, Man's World.'

LOL Journalists are total idiots. The writer should know that beau is a masculine word.

The only “jubilation” in D.C. are from the out-of-towners who came to D.C. for the inauguration.

He saw it and smiled. Trump's comeback was not possible without Rush's help.

I miss him, too. He was so good at his craft. His ability to zero in on what was really the Democrats' motivations and goals was brilliant.
