Trump Dance Craze Takes Over U.S. Sports

A viral dance inspired by Donald Trump spreads across American sports.
In a surprising trend, a dance move mimicking former U.S. President Donald Trump's on-stage boogie has become a viral celebration across American sports.

The craze, dubbed 'the Donald', has swept arenas from the UFC to the NFL and even the LPGA Tour over the last week.

The trend notably took center stage when U.S. soccer star Christian Pulisic celebrated a goal against Jamaica by mimicking Trump's signature fist-pumping shuffle.

The movement gained further attention at Madison Square Garden where MMA fighter Jon Jones, in the presence of Trump himself, celebrated his victory over Stipe Miocic by performing this dance before presenting his championship belt to Trump.

NFL stars are also getting in on the act.

San Francisco 49ers' Nick Bosa performed the dance after a successful play, and Las Vegas Raiders' Brock Bowers mirrored Jones' moves after a touchdown.

The dance has even reached the fairways, with English golfer Charley Hull joining in during a tournament in Florida.

Social media has buzzed with reactions, including former U.S. soccer player Alexi Lalas expressing delight after Pulisic's performance, reflecting the dance's unexpected popularity in sports culture.
