Speaking during an appearance in Las Vegas, Trump told the crowd, “She hates when I dance”. He claimed Melania believes the behavior isn’t appropriate, telling him, “Darling, it’s not Presidential”. Trump, however, has no intention of taking her advice, insisting that people enjoy seeing him dance. According to Trump, Melania offered a different interpretation, telling him people were simply “being nice”.
Melania isn’t a fan of his weightlifting routine either. Trump has become known for mimicking weightlifters during speeches—raising his fists while discussing women’s sports—a performance Melania also considers “not Presidential”. Despite her disapproval, Trump continues the gestures.
Trump’s signature moves became a viral sensation during campaign rallies, where he would often dance along to the Village People’s iconic song “Y.M.C.A.” The routine has since turned into one of the most recognizable political memes, with athletes and people around the world copying the movements. However, Village People frontman Victor Willis pushed back against the use of their music, stating that neither he nor the group endorsed Trump.
