Mar-A-Lago New Year's party goes on without President Trump

The party goes on, even without the usual guest of honor.

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump decided to head back to Washington, D.C. on Thursday, hours before he was slated to host Mar-A-Lago's annual New Year's Eve party.

Other members of Trump's family -- including son Donald Trump Jr. -- are expected to attend tonight's event.

More than 500 people are expected to make their way to the historic Palm Beach club tonight, and many will post their party pictures on social media.

Lots of photos of people not wearing masks or physical distancing. Looks like another spreader event.

They have all been vaccinated with Jarod’s stash. Like the hijacked PPE’s and vents. That is why all the states were only shipped 40 percent of the requested vaccines. MAGA Most of America Gone Apeshit!

Also, if they can afford to party in that social group, they can afford the drugs/vaccines at whatever price is asked.

He's gone so deeply into the "I didn't lose" cult that allies and supporters like his club members aren't loyal and fawning enough.

He needs complete adoration and fealty to him and the narcissistic fantasy.

His club members actually there for the club, or access to the power of the presidency, etc.

But not really for him, now that he lost. He can feel that they will judge him as a loser. He needs people who will deny losing to their core. The most deeply delusional people only.

Lap dancer Kimberly instead of nudie model Melania?

No big loss.
