Donald Trump’s signature dance moves have once again become a topic of online mockery after his recent rally in North Carolina. Known for his quirky performances at campaign events, the former president’s dancing drew attention from fans and critics alike. However, this latest appearance sparked another wave of trolling from netizens.
Journalist Aaron Rupar shared a video of Trump’s dance on X (formerly Twitter), captioning it, “Trump wraps up his North Carolina rally with some double jerk dancing.” The clip quickly attracted comments poking fun at the 77-year-old politician. One user, @PeterMallette9, sarcastically remarked, “See the monkey in the cage.” Another user, @EZanichkows, questioned the former president’s persistence with the dance, commenting, “It’s amazing to me that he still does the double jerk dance. Hasn’t anyone told him?”
Other comments took a similar tone, with @Leafer1 joking, “It’s like Trump’s pull string got stuck halfway,” and @MuddyPawGirls adding, “So nobody has mentioned how especially weird the double-hand job dance is? All this time and no one?” Meanwhile, @Kathlee96449320 chimed in, saying, “Imagine any world leader doing that?! Pathetic.”
Despite the online criticism, the crowd at the rally appeared enthusiastic, cheering as Trump danced to the Village People’s iconic track. However, this performance reignited questions about copyright issues, as Trump’s campaign has previously faced legal challenges for using music without permission. OK! Magazine even reported that Trump had been roasted for dancing to The Peanuts theme song at a separate event.
In another unexpected twist, rumors have circulated that Trump may secretly enjoy the music of Taylor Swift, despite his public disdain for the pop star. According to OK! Magazine, Trump has allegedly been spotted listening to Swift’s album Folklore—a surprise given Swift’s past endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris and criticism of Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance. Swift had famously shared her thoughts on social media, calling herself the “Childless Cat Lady” in a lighthearted jab at Vance.
A viral image recently circulated showing Trump scrolling through an iPad with Swift’s album cover on display. However, X later flagged the image, clarifying that it had been manipulated to show Folklore. Despite the correction, the internet ran with the joke, with many playfully accusing Trump of being a secret “Swiftie.” While Trump’s dance moves continue to entertain and bewilder, the online conversation surrounding his taste in music adds an amusing layer to his already colorful public persona.
