Guests who shelled out big bucks got to hang out with the MyPillow guy and listen to Vanilla Ice.President Trump skipped out on his Mar-a-Lago New Years Eve bash, but that didnt stop hundreds of maskless guests from packing the ballroom and paying up to $1,000 for the privilege of seeing Vanilla Ice.
Photos of the event posted on Instagram and Twitter also showed guests dancing, embracing, and eating together at the galawhich apparently flouted local COVID-19 guidelines. The black-tie event included high-profile Republicans such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump Jr., and Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric and Lara Trump, and Rudy Giuliani.
Don Jr. seemed particularly enthralled by a performance by 1990s rapper and accused domestic abuser Vanilla Ice.
Ok this is amazing, Don Jr. wrote in a Facebook post that included a video of the has-been singing his hit Ice, Ice Baby while guests huddled together dancing. Vanilla Ice is playing [at] the Mar-a-Lago New Year's Eve party. As a child of the 90s, you cant fathom how awesome that is. Beyond that, I got the birthday shoutout so thats pretty amazing.
