Guests at Mar-a-Lago could hear a selection of Elton John’s greatest hits this weekend – courtesy of DJ Donald Trump.
Members of the club in Palm Beach, Florida received a memo on Wednesday that they will be treated to “great music” during dinner on Friday and Saturday, “with President Trump playing the role of disc jockey”.
“The music will be amazing, it will be lots of fun, and will go until the late evening,” the memo said, according to a tweet from New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

It remains unclear what music Trump has in mind for this weekend, but the former president has a known penchant for Elton John, though the singer declined to perform at his inauguration. The former president was also known for playing the Village People’s YMCA and Macho Man and Frank Sinatra’s My Way during his appearances as president.
Democratic US House representative Eric Swalwell tweeted predictions of what songs will be on Trump’s playlist: Don’t You Forget About Me by Simple Minds, Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol, Back in the USSR by the Beatles and Loser by Beck.
Trump might decide to blast Tiny Dancer to drown out anger from Mike Pence contradicting Trump’s claim that the election was stolen and that he and Trump could have overturned the election.
“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said Friday at a conference hosted by the conservative Federalist Society. In a responding statement on Friday, Trump insisted “I was right and everyone knows it,” the New York Post reported.
Trump could also be warming himself up for the fundraiser he is hosting at Mar-a-Lago later this month, tickets for which are running as high as $250,000. The fundraiser is for Trump’s Make America Great Again, Again Super Pac, for candidates who support the former president’s agenda.
