Fans welcomed the former president and his wife to a formal event at the Mar-a-Lago Club, ramping up support for his 2024 presidential campaign.
PALM BEACH, Fla.–Former First Lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance at a flashy event in Mar-a-Lago Club on Feb. 10 to support the former president’s third bid for the presidency.
The former first lady smiled as she hugged her husband before he took the stage for a short speech. Many members of Congress, celebrities, and former presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy also attended in a show of support for the former president.
President Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump Boulos, attended with her newlywed husband, Michael Boulos. They were seated alongside former Fox News personality Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to the former president’s son, Donald Trump Jr.
About 800 of former President Donald Trump’s wealthiest supporters gathered to honor him on his home turf in an event hosted by the Trumpettes, a group of wealthy female supporters of the Republican frontrunner.
These supporters donning formal attire said they share a belief with other Trump fans from all walks of life. Many consider President Trump to be uniquely qualified–and perhaps preordained–to lead America out of its current economic, safety, and immigration crises.
“I think God anointed him to save this country,” event organizer Toni Holt Kramer, president of the support group Trumpettes USA, told the audience that filled Mar-a-Lago’s main ballroom on Feb. 10. “America is the love of his life.”
Epoch Times, one of the few media outlets that sought and received permission to cover the exclusive gathering.
The event featured the enthusiasm of a typical Trump rally but in fancier surroundings; at one point, some people even chanted “Trump! Trump! Trump!” in the gold-accented ballroom featuring 17 crystal chandeliers.
Women wore gowns adorned in sequins, feathers, and fur; many men sported designer tuxedos. President Trump, who typically wears a red necktie, joked that he rushed to the celebration from a campaign event and slapped on a black necktie because the occasion required one.
