Donald Trump Jr. recently shared his less-than-enthusiastic view of his father's annual New Year's Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago, describing the event as an "amateur night" filled with unsolicited political opinions from intoxicated attendees.
Speaking on a Rumble stream, Trump Jr. explained that while he enjoyed New Year's Eve as a child, the current iteration of the Mar-a-Lago party is not his preference. He cited the large crowds and boisterous environment as reasons for his discomfort.
He further detailed his experience, stating that by midnight, the atmosphere becomes overwhelming with inebriated guests offering unwanted political views. He emphasized his preference for quieter, outdoor settings over crowded social gatherings.
Despite his son's reservations, former President Donald Trump had promoted the New Year's Eve event at his Palm Beach estate, calling Mar-a-Lago the "Center of the Universe." He had expressed excitement about the evening on Truth Social, anticipating an "AMAZING" celebration.
This year's guest list reportedly included Elon Musk, who has been staying at the estate, alongside family members and political figures such as JD Vance, Ted Cruz, and Roger Stone. Trump Jr. attended with his rumored new girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, where he also celebrated his 47th birthday.
Local officials anticipated over 300 guests at the event, highlighting the scale of the annual New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, which contrasts with the preference for a more low-key celebration expressed by Trump Jr.
