President Donald Trump busted out the dance moves when “YMCA” came on during a campaign rally in Ohio on Monday.
The moves: Trump’s shimmy to the Village People’s iconic 1978 hit, which is often played at his rallies, delighted his supporters in the town of Swanton.
“Everybody’s anthem”: While some musicians, including Bruce Springsteen and the Rolling Stones, have objected to Trump using their songs at his rallies, the Village People’s founding member has no such qualms.
- “‘YMCA’ is everybody’s anthem and go-to song for fun. As for the president’s use, I have not granted permission for use at his rallies because permission is not required,” Victor Willis told Bloomberg News earlier this month.
- “If I were a Trump hater maybe I’d sue him simply out of spite,” Willis added. “I am not, and I’m not going to have my lawyers sue the president. But he should at least do the ‘YMCA’ dance while he’s at it.”
“Macho Man,” another of the Village People’s iconic disco hits, is also regularly heard at Trump’s rallies.
