West Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)President Donald Trump rang in 2018 with shout-outs to his billionaire friends and a warning to his "enemies" during short remarks just before midnight at his posh South Florida club.

On his first New Year's Eve as President, Trump heralded the accomplishments of his first 12 months in office, but acknowledged it hadn't been easy. "We're going to have a great 2018. It's going to be something very, very special. It's all kicking in," he said, according to a recording of his remarks obtained by CNN. "We have some pretty good enemies out there, but step by step they're being defeated. They're some bad people. Bad people. But that's ok. Someday maybe they'll love us. I don't know."

It was a characteristically combative way for Trump to welcome the new year. In public and in private, Trump has spent much of his time in office going after those who challenge his decisions or stand in his way.

At his annual New Year's Eve bash, Trump appeared in a festive mood, according to guests who attended. He smiled for photos and shook hands with guests who paid upwards of $750 for a ticket. He even danced — briefly — as a band played Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive."

10. I have watched this video more than I can count.

It's perfection.

[yallerdawg]

NOT MY PRESIDENT.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

16. Are anyone who disagrees with his warped agenda

or have a different skin color or are poor.

[dhill926]

3. delusional fuck.....

[BigmanPigman]

4. I MUST see the video of him dancing!!!

Does anyone know how to get it. I want to watch it every morning before I start my Resistance activities. Not only would it be great motivation but it will start my day with the much needed robust laughter at the fucking moron's expense.

5. Did he dance with

his favorite person - HIMSELF? Or with his alternate EGO? I saw Maleria, she was wearing an outfit made out of tinfoil (it looked like) as though she had been perched up on top of the Christmas tree.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Silver and NOT his favorite tacky, faux gold?

Are they economizing and going down a notch?

[WhiteTara]

18. You mean the plastic shower curtain?

It was something to behold...weird fit too. It smashed her breasts but made them look really matronly? weird...I wonder if the designer hates her and pretended that she was getting something special?

[Scarsdale]

19. In Puerto Rico

she wore a tee shirt, and was FLAT. What hoppened??? tRump has large man moobs, plus rolls of fat around his waist or where his waist would be, if he had one.

[WhiteTara]

20. Interesting.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. Even for Trump this is blow-off arrogance

Let them eat cake

Pricking the bubble of pomposity will be most delicious in 2018

[spiderpig]

8. He is disgusting on so many levels.

Can't even let New Year's Eve go by without hurling obnoxious insults.

Dawg, I hate him. And I don't use "hate" lightly.

[TeamPooka]

9. More of his 3rd grade vocabulary on display.

[Raine1967]

11. It will be...

when he gets taken down.

I have a good feeling about 2018. It's not going to be easy, but I think it will be a very good year for this country.

This garbage cannot sustain. I went into 2017 unsure, nervous, shocked, scared and disgusted.

I left it knowing what we are facing and more emboldened than I have been in a long time. We know the enemy, we know the threat we know the machinations and we know most of all, who and what represents patriotism.

I feel hopeful even in the face of pure anti-Americanisn that Dolt45 represents.

Happy New Year to my fellow sisters and brothers in the resistance.

[Grins]

12. "...2018. It's going to be something very, very special."

Agree.

Nothing can compare to the excitement of impeachment hearings that lead to a trial in the Senate!!!! Only thing better than that could be the sight of moving vans backing up to the White House and taking out all that shitty gold furniture

My nipples are already hard!!

[Scarsdale]

13. Guests?

Call them what they are - CUSTOMERS and brown noses. They paid for a ticket.

[Bengus81]

17. And Trump DOUBLED the price this year for his New Year bash...

Kind of like how he's DOUBLED the fee to join his Golf courses but of course he's totally diversified himself from any ownership.

[MarcA]

14. "Someday maybe they'll love us". We will never love bigly brother. eom

[Blue_Tires]

15. Urge to kill.... Rising.....
