President Donald Trump will celebrate the new year alongside allies and MAGA celebrities at a fancy New Year’s Eve gala at Mar-a-Lago while the first year of his presidency comes to a close – and with 2026 promising to be a year of tumult for D.C.

The president’s annual New Year’s bash was set to kick off Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Palm Beach manor and club owned by the president and is expected to be well-attended by the MAGA elite.

White House officials were tight-lipped on Wednesday regarding an official guest list. In recent years, the lists have included Cabinet officials and the occasional congressional ally like Sen. Ted Cruz, who attended in 2024.

This year’s event is likely to be attended also by a new generation of MAGA insiders, including many of the wealthy CEOs and socialites who make up the new Trump-aligned social circles in Washington D.C. Those insiders include the members of Donald Trump Jr.’s exclusive Georgetown club, the Executive Branch, which hosts notables like crypto guru David Sacks, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, and the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler. FBI Director Kash Patel, known for hitting the D.C. nightclub scene since taking the job, is also very likely to be there.

2. So happy to see Patel is partying on New Years Eve.....

Instead of, you know, doing his job and protecting AMERICA from domestic and Russian terrorism.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

10. Patel not being on the job for a day probably IS protecting America from...

...domestic and Russian (backed) terrorism.

I too thought of The Garden of Earthly Delights.......I was an Art Major in College.

Life imitating art for sure.

6. I'm reminded of Bosch often ...

We live in a very surreal and dystopian world.

7. I'm a big fan of the absurd and the surreal. The TACO administration being the sole exception.

11. Salvadore Dali's The Persistence of Memory stands out for me.

Saw this masterpiece at the Modern Museum of Art in NYC in 1974.



TACO is losing his bit by bit.
