PALM BEACH, Florida (KTRK) -- President Trump wished Americans a happy New Year, but he also had a few people to call out before 2018 arrived.

The president tweeted on New Year's Eve that, "As our country rapidly grows stronger and smarter, I want to wish all of my friends, supporters, enemies, haters and even the dishonest Fake News Media, a Happy and Healthy New Year."

The president and first lady Melania Trump hosted a New Year's Eve gala at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Before entering the party, the president spoke to reporters. He predicted a "fantastic 2018" and said the stock market will continue to rise.

When asked for his reaction to North Korea leader Kim Jong Un's remarks about having a nuclear button on his desk, the president responded only by saying, "We'll see."

The couple's son, Barron, also attended the party.
