Vanilla Ice, a Ninja Turtle, Roger Stone — Who ELSE Was At Donald Trump’s New Year’s Eve Mar-a-Lago Bash?
Donald Trump had a big bash at Mar-a-Lago for New Year’s Eve complete with extravagant cars, champagne and fireworks, a brief political speech, and of course, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle joining Vanilla Ice on stage for a performance of “Ice, Ice Baby” … as one does.
Vanilla Ice wasn’t the only T-List celeb at the gala. Singer Lee Greenwood performed perennial Trump rally favorite “Proud To Be An American” before Trump took the stage for a few minutes.
Those videos and photos of other big Trump-world names are below, but the main event was obviously this performance by Vanilla Ice and TMNT.
Quite possibly the best video I have ever taken
Yes, that’s Vanilla Ice.
Yes, that’s Donald Trump.

Lots of other photos and videos were posted online by attendees, although most of them were just different angles on Vanilla Ice’s performance. But there were other Trump world familiar faces in the crowd.
Roger Stone posted a photo from his table at the party, and Trump lawyer Alina Habba was there hanging out with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro.

Naturally, Trump kids were there, including Eric and Lara Trump.
Also reportedly in attendance but not making any photo or video appearances yet were both Mike Lindell and Rudy Giuliani.
Giuliani also dropped an early in the day New Year’s Eve message from the streets of NYC via his various social media accounts.
The party was not attended by Melania Trump, who is normally a big part of such events but throughout the holidays has been caring for her ailing mother. Trump talked about her absence in his remarks and many prayers have been offered on social media.
However, Donald and Melania matchmaker and current ambassador of Dominica, Paolo Zampolli, was there and snapped a few photos with Trump and a video of Vanilla Ice’s performance.
The videos from various angles and photos were shared and reshared overnight and into New Year’s Day.
Melania spent New Year’s Eve in the hospital with her mother, who is still very ill according to President Trump here. I am praying for Amalija Knavs, Melania Trump, and their entire family! 🙏🙏🙏 pic.twitter.com/ZWa8XfJXpd

This year Trump will be facing multiple criminal and civil trials, fighting to keep his name on the ballot in states like Colorado and Maine, and continuing to trash Republicans who do not offer him unconditional support. He also had a Truth Social post on some of that which he called a “salutation” to “radical left misfits” and which talked about immigrants coming to “sour country.”
