About
The Trump Dance refers to a dance move popularised by Donald Trump via his October 2020 "Y.M.C.A." dance. The dance move involves people pursing their lips and fist pumping to the beat of a song, oftentimes with their knees and back slightly bent. The dance move has become synonymous with Donald Trump, with several Republicans posting videos of themselves doing the dance move following his win in the 2024 Presidential Election. In November 2024, a video of MMA fighter Jon Jones doing the Trump Dance went viral online.
Origin
On October 12th, 2020, a video of Donald Trump dancing at a campaign rally in Florida went viral online.
