Trump Attends 'Villains And Heroes' Costume Party Dressed As...Himself


U.S. President-elect Donald Trump attended a “Villains and Heroes” costume party at a major donor’s Long Island home on Saturday night, but declined to don any garb that was in keeping with the theme.


Trump entered the party hosted by the Mercer family, one of his biggest donors, at their home in the village of Head of the Harbor in St. James, N.Y., wearing a suit and a blue and white checked tie. Security guards at the event however were dressed as biker gang members Hell’s Angels.


Trump walked into the home and gave reporters, who were not allowed inside, the thumbs up and posed briefly for photos, but did not respond to questions except to mouth “me,” pointing to himself when asked who he was dressed as.



Trump spoke briefly at the party, thanking the Mercer family, according to a member of his press team, staying for just under two hours.


It was his only outing from his Manhattan home on Saturday. Early on Sunday, he slammed the latest “Saturday Night Live” on Twitter, calling it “unwatchable”.


“Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can’t get any worse. Sad,” Trump wrote about Alec Baldwin’s recurring appearances on the late night sketch show in which the actor portrays Trump. 


None of Trump’s immediate family members attended the Long Island party, but his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, was on hand, dressed as Super Woman. Trump’s designated White House strategist Steve Bannon was also on hand, but appeared not to be in costume.


Music by Adele, Lady Gaga, Shakira, Sia and Céline Dion emanated from the Christmas light decorated home.






A wifi network set up for the party used the password “HeroesWin!”


Robert Mercer, the billionaire at whose mansion on Long Island’s tony North Shore the party was held, is co-chief executive of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund. Daughter Rebekah Mercer sits on Trump’s transition team. Trump is in the midst of choosing cabinet members.


Mercer initially supported Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination before putting his support behind Trump in the November presidential election.

Norcross Georgia man wanted in security guard shooting

NORCROSS, GA - Police are looking for a man who allegedly shot a security guard.

Enrique Carrera, 27, is wanted for aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and reckless conduct.

Am I the only person who sees something wrong with these charges?  Where is the attempted murder charge?  Where is the charge for discharging a firearm in the city limits?  How about wanton endangerment?  Or is it considered a lesser offense to only shoot security guards?

I guess it is understandable why this future Nobel Peace Prize winner decided to whip out his pistol and try to gun down the first person who got in between himself and a hot, tasty meal.  I mean, just look at this guy.  He looks positively famished.  I guess the cops can take all of the Weight Watcher clinics off their potential stake out sites for this one.

Gwinnett County Police is asking for your help (surprise!) finding this one.  You can reach them at 770-513-5300.
