Will Trump show up for New Year's Eve party?

Palm Beach Post

President Donald Trump has canceled plans to spend the New Year’s holiday at Mar-a-Lago. A source who had planned to attend the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s Eve party said Friday Palm Beach was abuzz with members and guests talking about their own plans to bail on the Trump family’s annual gala.

It’s unclear whether Mar-a-Lago will let people wiggle out of their tickets at this late date. But evidently, some club members and guests have no interest in paying extra-high ticket prices if the president will not be in attendance.

People were willing to pay for the cachet if partying with the president, a source said. But with President Donald Trump staying in Washington, “people are bailing,” the source said. “It’s a lot of money (to spend) without his celebrity.”

Mar-a-Lago this year hiked ticket prices for its annual New Year’s Eve bash, with guests paying $1,000 per person for the chance to party with the President Trump at his private Palm Beach club.

My brother's in-laws are members of Rolling Rock Club, which features Dick Cheney as a member (he wasn't at the Party). All the old members show up to see and be seen.

(fun fact: all the overnight rooms have no locks, because if you can't trust the other members...)

They're not going to let just anyone in for 1K.

I'd find the money somewhere to have a chance to tell him off.
