Inside Trump Backers Bash At Mar-A-Lago, Where The President Is A Damn Genius
Even with Trump stuck in Washington, the Trumpettes hailed the president as a messiah at a party in his honor at his exclusive club Thursday night.Source: Buzz Feed News
The clock was ticking for the Republican-controlled Congress to stave off a government shutdown Thursday night just over 24 hours to go but Washington's chaos seemed to be taking place on another planet for about 800 of President Donald Trump's most die-hard supporters, who held a lavish celebration at Mar-a-Lago to mark Trumps first-year in office and rally for his re-election.
Decked out in red, white, and blue, Trump fans from all over the country danced throughout the evening at the presidents exclusive club, toasted repeatedly to Trump's accomplishments, chanted his name along with the occasional campaign favorite "lock her up" and referred to Trump as a damn genius, their messiah and savior." The speakers and attendees also slammed the media and pushed back on renewed allegations of racism levied at the president, after reports last week that he called African nations "shithole countries" in a private meeting with lawmakers.

"Welcome to Mar-a-Lago, a magnificent place," said Fox News host and Trump backer Jeanine Pirro, kicking off her keynote address just before dinner on a stage with a shimmering gold backdrop.
"It sure ain't no shithole."

Got elected to everyone's surprise, worked out a huge tax cut for himself, pulled the wool over his supporters eyes and gets all the pussy he wants.
Sigh
