Former President Donald Trump was reportedly spinning some of his favorite songs to a lucky crowd in Palm Beach, Florida this weekend.
According to a note sent to members of the Mar-a-Lago club, the former U.S. president was to hit the turntables on Friday and Saturday, and expected to spin until late at night.
“Great music will be played during dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings, with President Trump playing the role of disc jockey” read an invitation to members, which was shared on Twitter by a reporter.
“The music will be amazing, it will be lots of fun, and will go until the late evening,” the note added. “For those who will be unable to be seated, the bar will be open for drinks.”
Even though the message didn’t reveal the former president’s set list, there are at least a few possibilities, given his reported taste in music.
Trump has “name-checked Aerosmith, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson” in the past, according to Rolling Stone. He is also known for playing — and dancing to — the Village People’s “Macho Man” and “YMCA” during his rallies.
U.S. Rep Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, offered some suggestions on Twitter.
They include Simple Minds’ 1985 hit “Don’t You (Forget About Me);” Billy Idol’s 1980 pop-punk anthem “Dancing with Myself;” the Paul McCartney-written “Back in the U.S.S.R.” by The Beatles; as well as Beck’s “Loser.”
Mar-a-Lago — “one of the most highly regarded private clubs in the world,” according to a description on its website — will also soon be home to a lavish fund-raiser for Trump’s Make America Great Again, Again Super Pac.
On Feb. 23 the Take Back Congress Candidate Forum will feature a “full day of candid conversations” with Trump-endorsed candidates.
The event, which will feature the former president as a “special guest,” will not be cheap to attend.
Packages start at $3,000 per person and $5,000 per couple. But for $250,000, a few lucky couples will also get a private dinner with the president, VIP seating at the forum, and a photo with Trump.
