Many distinguished names were invited to the New Year’s celebrations by Trump and the First Lady. The scene was festive and theatrical, according to the White House pool report. At the entrance of the party, the guests were greeted by a black carpet with “Happy New Year Mar A Lago” written in gold letters. Musicians played “God Bless America” ​​and “The Star Spangled Banner” while standing on pedestals surrounded by tall white candles.

A huge white flower arrangement stood at the entrance of the ballroom while a band was playing “I Had the Time of My Life.”

In his speech, Trump said the country was in “really good shape,” pointing to an unprecedented flow of investment into the United States. He said factories were being built “all over the country” and noted that growth figures had exceeded forecasts.

Trump also mentioned tariffs, saying the United States had received “hundreds of millions of dollars,” and mentioned military funding, declaring the country “back on track” and “strong.” He talked about economic performance, investment, tariffs and what he called the rapid transformation of national wealth.

“I just want to tell you that the country is doing really well and doing really well,” Trump said, adding that the United States has “more investment coming into our country than any other country in the history of the world.”

He noted that factories were being built “all over the country” and said it was “really exciting to see”, expressing confidence in the growth figures, which he said exceeded expectations. Referring to the latest growth figures, Trump said, “You saw 4.3. They were predicting 1.9.4.4.”

Trump also pointed to revenue from tariffs, saying the US had raised “hundreds of millions of dollars” and mentioned funding for the military. “We gave 1,776 dollars to the entire army.

“This is not bad,” he said, and continued: “We are extremely happy that we are in a good situation as a country. We are back. “We are strong,” Trump said, adding, “I didn’t think it could happen this fast.” This is happening much faster than anyone thought possible.

The president praised Congressman Tom Emmer, saying he watched him talk about the Somali population on television, and thanked the leaders who attended the meeting and called for continued efforts to “take back our country.” He also spoke about alleged financial misconduct, saying authorities were uncovering billions of dollars in losses and vowing to recover the money.

The most striking feature of the night was the live art performance. Trump invited artist Vanessa Horabuena to the stage and described her as one of the greatest artists in the world. The artist painted a canvas while dancing while a band played Christian worship songs. The final work turned out to be a portrait of Jesus.

Trump later said the revenue would go to St. He put the painting up for auction, saying it would benefit St. Jude’s and the sheriff’s department. He opened the bidding at $100,000 and later offered to sign the portrait to increase its value. The painting ultimately sold for $2.75 million.

Among those seen poolside inside the ballroom were US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor, businessman Phil Ruffin, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Other attendees included Eric and Lara Trump, Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani and White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly among the attendees, according to an Instagram post. Trump also cited what he described as large-scale financial misconduct, saying authorities had uncovered billions of dollars in losses. “Can you imagine that they stole 18 billion dollars? We are learning about this,” he said, adding that investigations will continue.

“This was a giant fraud,” Trump said, promising to get the money back. “Everything is coming back,” he said, framing the effort as part of what he called a “green New Year.”
