Tonight, several stars joined President Trump at Mar-a-Lago for this year’s ‘Celebrate American Exceptionalism’ gala.
Notable names included Russell Brand, Ted Nugent, Tyrus Murdoch, and Eddie Griffin.
But, the person who really stole the show was legendary boxer Mike Tyson, who put his own spin on a MAGA hat…
Tyson’s red MAGA hat read: “Re-Elect That Motherf*ck*r”
He does not mince words!
Mike Tyson’s custom MAGA hat is going viral online:

That hat is gold!
They should sell those…
The revenue made from selling those hats might even surpass the sum amount of funds our government send to Iraq to build a Sesame Street… (yes, that’s real. Google it.)
But, I digress.
Anyways, the ‘Celebrate American Exceptionalism’ gala is hosted by conservative organization America’s Future, led by Chairman Mike Flynn.
And, it looks like it was a huge hit!
From The Palm Beach Post:
President Donald Trump is scheduled to be the “honored” guest Tuesday evening at a sold-out gala in his own club where he is expected to be joined by boxing legend Mike Tyson, actor Russell Brand and performer Ted Nugent.
The Mar-a-Lago gala is hosted by America’s Future, whose chairman is Mike Flynn. Flynn was Trump’s first national security adviser during his initial White House term. Flynn is a far-right political figure who now resides in Southwest Florida, and the group’s mission includes a focus on child trafficking through the southern border.
ADVERTISEMENTThe gathering is the final event in the president’s six-day Presidents Day stay at the Winter White House, the longest of his three sojourns to Palm Beach in his new term. During his first administration, Trump spent all four Presidents Day weekends at Mar-a-Lago, but never for as long as this one. Trump is to leave Mar-a-Lago Wednesday for Miami…
he theme of the gala at Mar-a-Lago, the website post states, is to celebrate “American exceptionalism.”
The term is a sort of 20th Century successor to the 1800s belief in Manifest Destiny, the concept that the United States had the God-given mission to expand its borders to the Pacific Ocean.
American Exceptionalism gained particular favor after the Spanish-American War and then in the post-World War II era. It embraced the belief in the uniqueness, even moral superiority, of the United States for historical, ideological and religious reasons. Advocates and scholars of American exceptionalism often argued that the country’s exceptionalism ordained it to be a special player on the international stage.
That last corollary is seemingly at odds with Trump’s stated “America first” guiding principles and policies toward the European alliance, the defunding of the U.S. Agency for International Development, tariffs and other foreign policy initiatives.
