Former opponents of Trump are said to be begging to be part of his Make America Great Again crusade. It’s a turnaround from the chaos of 2016
The clock had just struck midnight at the pre-inauguration Crypto Ball in Washington DC, and recent converts to Trump’s new America — from California tech millionaires to influencers with glassy smiles and Barbie doll hair — were knocking back mezcal and dancing to 1990s rap. Snoop Dogg was on the decks.
In the lobby, Caroline Wren, a former Trump adviser, rolled her eyes at the latecomers to the Make America Great Again cause. Just a year ago, she said, most of the people here would never have supported the president-elect.
“Now they’re like begging. It’s like The Hunger Games to get in front of Donald Trump,” she said. “It’s hilarious.”
