Reuters reported:
President-elect Donald Trump arrived in the Washington area on Saturday evening for a celebration of his return to power ahead of an inauguration ceremony that has been upended by record cold temperatures.
Trump flew aboard an Air Force plane sent by outgoing President Joe Biden to the Republican’s base in Palm Beach, Florida, where the Republican prepared his transition after winning the Nov. 5 election over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. His wife, Melania, daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, accompanied him on Saturday’s flight.
After arriving at Dulles airport in suburban Virginia, Trump headed to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia, on the outskirts of Washington.
On Saturday night, some 500 guests will view a fireworks display and musical performances that include Leo Days, an Elvis impersonator, and Christopher Macchio, a tenor whom Trump has previously featured at political events.
ADVERTISEMENTThe 78-year-old Trump is due to hold a rally with supporters inside the Capital One Arena in downtown Washington on Sunday, the eve of his inauguration, as well as a post-inauguration event Monday afternoon.
More from Daily Mail:
Trump marked his return to power with a celebration at his Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, about 30 miles outside Washington.
In addition to the First Couple, many of the major players in the Trump orbit were in attendance, including daughter and former senior advisor Ivanka, who was alongside her husband, Jared Kushner.
All of Trump’s adult children and their partners were in attendance, with Don Jr. alongside his controversial new beau Bettina Anderson, while Tiffany was there with husband Michael Boulos, as well as son Eric and wife Lara.
But all eyes were on Donald and Melania, who flashed rare smiles at each other as they watched the display.
The president-elect briefly addressed those in attendance, pointing out a few notable people, including Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
Trump singled out his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, who he called ‘a great negotiator’ after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal was agreed to.
ADVERTISEMENTMany favorites from Trump’s playlist washed over those in attendance, including ‘YMCA’ – which The Village People will play for those gathered live this weekend – and ‘A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World.’
Just after 10pm, the party left and about three dozen Trump fans cheered ‘Trump, Trump, Trump’ from a nearby grocery store parking lot as motorcade passed.
