Mar-a-Lago’s Lavish Hispanic Gala Featured AI Clip Of Trump Dancing To Spanish Song

On Feb. 10, former President Donald Trump’s private club, Mar-a-Lago, hosted the inaugural Hispanic Prosperity Gala — a sold-out, black-tie affair that combined Spanish-language performances with a highly visible display of pageantry and political pageantry.

According to social media clips and local reporting, the program included an AI-generated video that depicted a smiling Trump dancing to a Venezuelan-themed Spanish song, Los Comunistas Donde Están (“Where Are the Communists?”). The video montage reportedly showed a shirtless Trump dancing alongside figures identified as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and included surreal sequences such as slow-dancing leaders and scenes placing Trump in front of the White House.

Key Guests And Presentation

Argentine leader Javier Milei—whom Trump has previously described as his “favorite president”—delivered the gala’s keynote address and praised the MAGA movement, the Palm Beach Post reported. The event was produced in partnership with Latino Wall Street and the conservative nonprofit America First Policy Institute.

Named attendees included Rudy Giuliani, Roger Stone and Mike Flynn, while the program also featured Latino entertainers and public figures. Photos from the gala show hundreds of guests in formal attire walking a red carpet and mingling beside Mar-a-Lago’s large crystal pool, where performers costumed as mermaids posed for cameras.

Context And Controversy

The gala’s spotlight on Spanish-language performance and pan-American imagery came days after Trump publicly criticized Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime set for being primarily in Spanish. On Truth Social Trump wrote: "Nobody understands a word this guy is saying. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence."

Reports describe the song used in the AI clip as Venezuelan-themed. Some coverage noted the song includes references to dramatic events involving Venezuela’s leadership; those claims are politically charged and not independently verified here, so they are reported only as part of the video’s creative framing.

The gala arrives amid signs that Trump’s standing with Latino voters has become more uncertain since the 2024 election. The Daily Beast has reached out to the Trump Organization for comment.
