In case you missed it, the dance craze that is spreading across the world is “The Trump.”
At several of his rallies, President Trump would break into his own version of moving to the beat. In one case, he had the music continue for more than 30 minutes as he and others grooved – well sort of.
Of course, the never-Trumpers mocked his dance moves – and in the case of the 30 minute version, they said it was a sign of his mental state. (Of course, what can one expect from those humorless, anal retentive, politically correct, left-wing whiners? But I digress.)
Despite the critics, “The Trump” is catching on.
Trump did a version as he entered Madison Square Garden for the UFC 309 MMA match between Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans chanting “U-S-A, U-S-A”. Thousands of fans joined in the dance. After the match, Jones handed Trump the championship belt after doin’ the Trump.
That was no one time event. “Doin’ the Trump” now qualifies as a dance craze. The iconic Trump moves are seen on dance floors across the nation. It has spread through the sports community as a victory dance. Sports fans have taken to doin’ the Trump like they had taken to “the wave” and “Let’s go Brandon.”
San Francisco 49er Nick Bosa did The Trump after sacking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ quarterback. NBC Sports reporter Melissa Stark was seen doin’ the Trump after the interview with Bosa. Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders celebrated a touchdown with The Trump.
Others who celebrated on the field by doin’ the Trump include Detroit Lions’ Za’Darius Smith, Tennessee Titans Calvin Ridley, Jakobi Meyers of the Las Vegas Raiders, Buffalo bills quarterback Josh Allen, Baltimore Ravins Justin Tucker, and Sportscaster Jim Natz. All seen doin’ the Trump. The Trump has become a regular part of Kid Rock’s public appearances.
The Drake University football team did The Trump during a game. The Trump has gone international, as seen at English soccer marches. Barnsley FC players celebrated a goal by doin’ the Trump.
So, which foreign leader will be the first to be seen doin’ the Trump? I am betting it will be Kim Jong Un. Except he will say he is doin’ the Kim and every person in North Korea will be doing it every day.
Mark another first for President Trump. As far as I know, he is the only President in American History to have set off a dance craze in his name. (No, The Shuffle was not named after President Biden.)
So, there ‘tis.
