Donald Trump has resumed his role as DJ at his exclusive Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, despite his recent arrest and indictment in Manhattan. According to Page Six, citing insiders, the club's atmosphere has shifted back to a lively party scene after a more somber period leading up to Trump's arrest.
Sources revealed that the former president entertained members with his DJing skills on Wednesday and Thursday, showcasing his confidence in his eventual acquittal. "Trump told members he is 'back on track' and that he will be found not guilty," an insider shared on Friday.
Following his arraignment in New York on Tuesday, Trump returned to Mar-a-Lago and addressed his supporters that night, claiming that the real "criminal" is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. In his statement, Trump asserted, "The only crime that I've committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it."
By Thursday, Trump had resumed his regular activities, with a source stating that he is "telling people that he is resuming his normal life and schedule — including playing his weekly [DJ] session." The source also noted that Trump enjoys taking on the role of ringmaster at the club, playing music from his iPad while indulging in ice cream.
Club members have reportedly noticed an improvement in the atmosphere at Mar-a-Lago, with some expressing surprise at Trump's upbeat demeanor. Sources have previously informed Page Six that Trump has taken on the role of DJ every Thursday night at the members-only club.
As one source elaborated, "Members know this, and when they invite guests, they say, 'Let's have dinner on Thursday, because Trump DJs every Thursday,' as an event . . . Of course, he works the room for votes."
The former president's musical selections reportedly include Broadway tunes, hits from the 1980s, and even songs from "Phantom of the Opera." According to insiders, he also plays tracks such as Céline Dion's "Titanic" and the ever-popular "YMCA."
