At the ball, Donald Trump danced 3 songs with the first lady, Melania Trump. Among them, “My Way”, by Frank Sinatra.“Thank you very much, you were my donors, many donated large amounts of money”, stated the North American president. The event was also attended by celebrities, such as fighter Mike Tyson and singer Billy Ray Cyrus, father of Miley Cirys, who sang at the ball shortly before Trump’s arrival.
Billy Ray Cyrus, clearly lip-syncing, looks like he crawled out from under a bridge before this weak performance at Donald Trump’s inaugural Liberty Ball.
So embarrassing.
