Trump Parties at Flashy Gala as Troops Are Warned They May Die in Iran

Trump Parties at Flashy Gala as Troops Are Warned They May Die in Iran

https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-parties-at-flashy-gala-as-troops-are-warned-they-may-die-in-iran/

Trump squeezed in an appearance at an extravagant gala being held at his Mar-a-Lago club while telling the country he launched a full-out war with Iran.

The black-tie gala was hosted Friday evening by the Palm Beach-based nonprofit Place of Hope, which describes itself as a “faith-based” organization “providing care for children and families in South Florida.”

Several attendees of the gala posted pictures of the president stopping by the showy gala.

The president is seen wearing the same white USA trucker hat he wore while telling the U.S. he launched America’s first full-scale war since 2003. During the video, he warned that Americans may die in his war.
