His followers don’t seem to mind. In fact, they’re willing to pay top dollar to attend mask-less events in COVID-19 hotspots, like Florida. On New Year’s Eve, Mar-a-Lago hosted Trump’s party. A party he never showed up to, according to The Daily Beast, who wrote that Trump returned to D.C. suddenly on Thursday.

While no ticket holders got to hobnob with their deteriorating king, there were some people there who they might recognize from the news: Rep.

This violates Palm Beach County’s rules requiring facial coverings inside.
