Trump has been euphoric since his election, reflecting on his U-turn from embattled to leader on top of the world, according to people close to him.

The parade at Mar-a-Lago was a steady stream of corporate executives, wealthy elites and hangers-on.

"He's a man at his zenith," one person said.

The pace of phone calls from heads of state was so heavy that incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz flew to Mar-a-Lago to establish order.

Trump could be found some nights past 11 p.m. in the club's living room, using trusted allies as a sounding board on the world of politics.

Musk, who donated a quarter of a billion dollars to back Trump and other GOP candidates, was everywhere.

The food at Mar-a-Lago can be mediocre, but the seafood buffet catches praise.

"And no one blinks," one diner said.

Trump Jr. shares a home with Kimberly Guilfoyle near a Trump golf property 25 minutes north of his golf property.

"Shark Tank" star Kevin O'Leary posed for photos with guests.
