Details are filtering out about former President Donald Trump‘s Halloween party at his Palm Beach, Florida Mar-a-Lago resort.
He deejayed the event using an iPad, and mostly stuck to a playlist of ’80s dance tunes. The Apprentice alum reportedly also blasted “Phantom of the Opera” during the evening.
Though the bash was supposed to be a costume party, Trump predictably dressed as himself. Others came as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, sexy nurses and the Pope.

Steve Bannon faces a potential criminal charge of criminal contempt of Congress after the House of Representatives voted Thursday to refer the matter to the Justice Department.
The vote was 229-202. Nine Republicans joined with all of the Democrats in support of the resolution.
Bannon has refused to comply with a subpoena from the January 6 Select Committee, which is tasked with investigating the insurrection at the Capitol earlier this year.
Attorney General Merrick Garland told lawmakers earlier this week that prosecutors would review the facts of the case.
Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-ms), who is chairing the January 6th Committee, said that the vote was necessary for the integrity of the investigation.
“You can’t blow off the United States Congress and think you are going to get away with this,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-md), another member, told reporters.

The House committee set up to investigate the January 6th insurrection voted unanimously on Tuesday to recommend that Steve Bannon be held in contempt for refusing to comply with a subpoena.
Bannon, the former chief strategist for President Donald Trump, predicted on his podcast on January 5 that the next day would be “game day. So strap in. Let’s get ready.”
“All hell is going to break loose tomorrow,” he said.
In its resolution recommending the contempt charge, the January 6th Committee said that Bannon “appears to have had multiple roles relevant to this investigation, including his role in constructing and participating in the ‘stop the steal’ public relations effort that motivated the attack, his efforts to plan political and other activity in advance of January 6th, and his participation in the events of that day from a ‘war room’ organized at the Willard InterContinental Washington D.C. Hotel.”
