Former President Donald Trump may have found his true calling: DJing at Mar-a-Lago, cranking up “amazing” music, and busting loose until the very “late evening.”
That’s what he promised he’ll be doing Friday and Saturday in a statement sent to Mar-a-Lago members and shared by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

Critics groaned, imagining an endless loop of Trump’s rally favorites, like (ironically) “YMCA.”
So "My Way" and "YMCA" on an endless loop?

He’s going to play the mixtape Kim Jong-un made for him, isn’t he?

First song: I fought the Law (and the law won). Please, please play that one.
— Jeff Cook (@Jeffcook897) February 4, 2022
He'll be playing all the hits including...
— howiewmg (@hmsmarlboro) February 4, 2022
Steal Away (the election version)
Hoax
I Don't Care (the Melania remix)
Two Fine People (on both sides)
Don't Stop Me Now (a duet with Merrick Garland)
and, of course, the Russian National Anthem
Others had more general commentary about the former president’s weekend gig:
Some presidents raise money for humanitarian issues and some help with struggling democracies and free elections. Then there are those who DJ.

It's good to see him finally moving on. Is he available for weddings and bar mitzvahs?
— Greg Mason (@GregMason) February 4, 2022
He’ll be working the omelette bar Saturday morning. 🍳

Best part is the knob who wrote this used the term “disc jockey”. Is it 1987? Will he pop in some Dionne Warwick and hold up a lighter?
— CATaylor (@CATaylor15) February 4, 2022
I love that he uses the full term “disc jockey”. That’s so groovy. Will he be called “Daddy-O”?
