A video of Donald Trump dancing at a black‑tie charity gala at Mar‑a‑Lago has gone viral worldwide, filmed on the same night that the United States military was preparing to launch strikes against Iran. The footage, filmed by gala guests and shared widely on social media, shows the president moving to Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the U.S.A.' before turning to the crowd and declaring, 'Have a great time, everybody — I gotta go to work.'
Hours later, the United States and Israel jointly launched what Trump himself labelled 'major combat operations in Iran,' the country's deadliest foreign military engagement since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Trump posted an eight-minute video to his Truth Social account confirming the strikes, wearing the same white USA trucker hat he had on at the gala, and warning the American public that 'The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war.'
