The Village People and Me: My Night Watching Trump’s Inaugural Balls

Share this Post:

If Cinderella is a Donald Trump supporter, things threatened to get awkward Monday evening, as the three major inauguration balls where the newly sworn in 47th president was set to make an appearance stretched long past midnight.

It’s unclear if any Prince Charmings made the guest lists at the Commander in Chief, Liberty, and Starlight Balls, all of which hosted the Trump family, that of Vice President JD Vance, and more spins of Village People songs than any person should be humanely submitted to.

There were, however, members of the Space Force, grass-roots campaigners, big-pocketed Trump donors, D.C. elite with good connections, Mike Tyson sitting on one of the Paul brothers’ shoulders, and, if a report from CNN earlier in the night came to volition, at least one recently released Jan. 6 prisoner who planned to book it straight from jail to the dance floor.
