PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Video from Donald Trump’s glitzy Halloween party at Mar-a-Lago has sparked attention after a lip reader claimed to have uncovered what the president said during a private moment at his table.

The glamorous celebration, held on Friday night, carried the theme 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody,' inspired by 'The Great Gatsby' and the roaring 1920s.

Guests arrived in shimmering gowns, pearls, and tuxedos, filled the Palm Beach ballroom with a sense of old Hollywood extravagance.

The party, which blended politics, celebrity, and spectacle, brought together Trump’s closest circle of friends, family members, and allies.

Donald Trump’s whisper to Marco Rubio

According to lip reader Nicola Hickling, who analyzed footage obtained by the Daily Mail, Trump was caught sharing a candid remark with Marco Rubio during the festivities.

Hickling claims the former president leaned over and said he wanted to spend some uninterrupted time with his wife, Melania Trump.

“No small talk,” Trump reportedly told Rubio. “One night, I don’t want to be disturbed and want to spend some time with Melania before I leave.”

The brief exchange appeared light-hearted but revealed a rare, softer side to Trump’s famously public persona.

The conversation took place as the two men sat together at a dinner table alongside Rubio’s wife Jeanette television host Judge Jeanine Pirro, and Michael Boulos, the husband of Tiffany Trump.

Trump appeared relaxed throughout the evening, occasionally smiling and chatting with guests as live music played in the background.

Donald Trump’s affection for Melania

While both of them are often seen maintaining a formal demeanor at public events, there have been moments when he has openly expressed affection towards the first lady. 



From hand-holding on international visits to subtle gestures at campaign rallies, he has occasionally used public appearances to show admiration and respect for his wife. 

Both have expressed warmth toward each other in interviews and public appearances, with Melania describing Trump as "caring" and having a “beautiful relationship.” 



Donald Trump’s celebration post Asia tour success

The Mar-a-Lago celebration came just days after Trump’s five-day tour of East Asia, which international observers described as a major diplomatic showcase.



Trump’s stops in Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea were marked by elaborate welcomes and substantial trade discussions.

He secured mineral access in Malaysia and brokered a peace accord between Thailand and Cambodia. 

Japan pledged $550 billion in US investments, while South Korea honored him with a 21-gun salute and medal ceremony.

His final meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping saw both sides agree to de-escalate trade tensions with China easing restrictions on US agricultural imports and minerals, while the US lowered tariffs.
