“This is very exciting,” Trump told the Melona crowd.
“I’m here with a fantastic woman, the Prime Minister of Italy,” he continued. “She’s really conquered Europe, like everyone else, and we’re just having dinner tonight.”
Other notables in attendance at the documentary screening include his new administration’s choice for Secretary of State, Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, and his choice for National Security Adviser, Florida Republican Representative Mike Waltz, as well as his choice for Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent.
