Trump dance

The Trump dance is a celebratory dance inspired by 45th and 47th U.S. president Donald Trump's characteristic rally gestures while dancing to his campaign song "Y.M.C.A." by the Village People. The dance typically involves slowly punching the air and moving one's hips.

The dance originated at Trump's 2020 campaign rallies and gained more media attention at his 2024 campaign rallies, where his movements became a notable aspect of his public persona. Over time, these gestures were popularized through social media and eventually adopted by individuals outside the political sphere.

The dance is performed by rocking the hips in a side-to-side motion while performing alternating, subdued fist pumps. In October 2024, Trump began occasionally incorporating a pantomime golf swing into the dance. According to the Times of India, this sparked "a wave of reaction" on social media.

The Trump dance is frequently performed to the musical accompaniment of the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.", which Trump has called the "gay national anthem".

The Trump dance has been observed in major sporting events, with athletes incorporating it into their celebratory routines.

NFL players, including Brock Bowers of the Las Vegas Raiders, Calvin Ridley of the Tennessee Titans, Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers, and Za'Darius Smith of the Detroit Lions, have been noted for performing the dance.[clarification needed] Similar celebrations have also been documented among college football athletes.

In late November 2024, the NFL announced it would not penalize players who performed the Trump dance during league games. According to football analyst Jordan Schultz, the NFL indicated "that they only take action against those [play celebrations] deemed excessive or inappropriate" but that the league "is good" with the Trump dance.

During a game that Trump attended on September 11, 2025 between the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers, three Tigers players, Dillon Dingler, Wenceel Pérez, and Gleyber Torres did the dance following base hits.
