Richard Johnson: Trump at the turntables and Brad Pitt’s next move

Former president Donald Trump has developed a new skill set during his time out of the White House that has nothing to do with golf or politics.

The potential 2024 candidate has become a DJ in his off-duty hours. He’s wowing members, guests and friends at his club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach every night he has dinner there, several times a week.

Trump uses an iPad from his table to control the music which he plays very loudly causing some of the older patrons to cringe and turn down their hearing aids.

His playlist consists of a wide range of genres including rock and roll with Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones, country music, Broadway show tunes, and disco classics he once danced to at Studio 54 with his ex-wife Ivana Trump.

Guests are waiting to see if he dares to play any of his pal Kanye West’s hits.

Perhaps Trump will follow in the footsteps of Paris Hilton and other celebrities who get paid up to a million dollars a night to DJ at clubs in Ibiza and Mykonos.

My source said, “Maybe he’ll install a DJ both on the stage at his upcoming rallies as he crisscrosses the country preparing for the next presidential election.”

Brad Pitt is thinking of selling his share in the successful movie production company, Plan B, and spending more time in France running his vineyard Chateau Miraval.

Pitt is known as an architecture buff. He also owns a large real estate portfolio in LA and he recently drew rave reviews for his sculpture.

He recently came out with a skincare line called “Le Domaine” which uses stems from the grapevines at his vineyard.

Plan B has produced such hits as “12 Years a Slave,” “Moonlight” and “The Departed.” But Pitt is looking to a life beyond movies.

Pitt has worked hard to maintain his relationship with his six kids since splitting with Angelina Jolie, with whom he continues to fight over the terms of their divorce.

Bobby Zarem, the legendary publicist who died in September at age 84, will be remembered at Michael’s on E. 55th St. on Tuesday.

Zarem repped Michael Douglas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cher, Sylvester Stallone, Ann-Margret, Dustin Hoffman and Michael Caine.

Though he helped rejuvenate the city in the ‘70s with the “I Love New York” campaign, Zarem spent his last years at his family home in Savannah, Ga., where a faded billboard on one building promoted his father’s shoe store.

Zarem was thrilled to bring a bunch of New York reporters to Savannah to see the various locations in John Berendt’s 1994 book, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”

The scribes met The Lady Chablis, a gender-bending singer who appears in the bestseller.

Zarem later hosted film critics attending the Savannah Film Festival.

The publicist once screamed and cursed at me for failing to run a story. A week later, former Met Keith Hernandez laughingly told me he was with Zarem and witnessed his performance.

There was no one like Bobby Zarem. He will be missed.
