On Saturday, the black-and-white-themed event took place in a makeshift cinema at White House, which had been erected after the original cinema had been demolished to make way for Trump’s new ballroom, with a guest list of 70 attendees including Mike Tyson, Amazon’s Andy Jassy, Apple’s Tim Cook and Queen Rania of Jordan.
