Donald Trump welcomed 2026 at his Mar‑a‑Lago New Year’s Eve gala by auctioning a live‑painted Jesus portrait that sold for $2.75m. The artwork, created in about ten minutes by worship artist Vanessa Horabuena, became the centrepiece of a night filled with political allies, donors, and high‑profile guests including Benjamin Netanyahu and Rudy Giuliani. Trump acted as auctioneer, joking with the crowd and announcing that proceeds would support St. Jude’s Hospital and the local sheriff’s office. He also reiterated his New Year’s resolution for “peace on earth,” adding a lightly theatrical flourish to an already headline‑ready evening.
