Former US President Donald Trump on Thursday added a golf swing in his signature dance moves during a rally sparking a wave of reaction online. Trump was seen clapping his hands and bobbing his head on the Village people song "YMCA," a staple at his rallies.
One user on social media platform X compared Trump's dance moves to those of the late American TV personality and comedian Johnny Carson, saying, "Like Johnny Carson."

Another user humorously suggested that Trump was "updating his dance to be more presidential."
Donald Trump has made “YMCA” into something of a trademark, playing the song frequently at his rallies, and describing it as the “gay national anthem.
Despite Trump's frequent use of "YMCA" at his rallies and his description of the song as the "gay national anthem," the Village People have not been entirely supportive of his campaign's use of their music. The band has repeatedly called for Trump to stop playing their songs at rallies and even considered taking legal action against him in 2020 for using "YMCA" and "Macho Man."
"YMCA" was originally written about the experience of staying at hostels run by the YMCA organization, which was founded in London on June 6, 1844, as the Young Men's Christian Association.
However, following Trump's use of the song at a Pennsylvania event on October 14, Village People frontman Victor Willis claimed he would allow Trump to use the song until the end of the 2024 presidential campaign. Willis stated that Trump's use of the song had caused it to climb the charts and that suing the former president would be "stupid and just plain hateful."
