President-elect Donald Trump ended his final victory rally on Sunday evening, just before Inauguration Day, with a high-energy performance featuring the Village People. The group joined Trump on stage to perform their iconic disco hit “Y.M.C.A.,” and he joined in with his signature dance moves.
Throughout his 2024 campaign, Trump held over 110 rallies, consistently closing each event with a memorable exit. His trademark move, now called the “Trump Dance,” includes a double fist pump and hip shakes performed to the upbeat rhythm of “Y.M.C.A.” The dance has become a viral trend, with athletes, social media users, and supporters enthusiastically imitating it since his victory in the 2024 election.
The 78-year-old Republican also shared the stage with Elon Musk, the tech tycoon who will lead significant budget reductions in his administration. Musk assured the crowd of his commitment to ensuring American strength “for centuries.”
At the energetic inauguration eve rally on Sunday, Trump announced plans for swift presidential actions to reverse what he called “American decline.” He emphasized his intention to challenge progressive ideology and address pressing immigration issues, promising decisive leadership in his upcoming term.
During the rally at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., Trump added extra flair to his dance, occasionally pointing at the crowd, waving, or mimicking a golf swing, all while delivering his usual lengthy speeches filled with promises for his second term. The crowd cheered wildly, waving signs and dancing along to the lyrics, “There’s no need to feel down… pick yourself off the ground.”
As the Village People delivered a lively, choreographed performance, Trump swayed to the music, offering his signature moves. Supporters raised their hands, formed the iconic letters of “Y.M.C.A.,” and celebrated the end of Trump’s campaign era with enthusiasm.
