Donald Trump posts bizarre two minute clip of himself dancing to Village People’s YMCA
Donald Trump has released a bizarre two minute supercut clip of himself dancing to YMCA by the Village People on the morning of the US election.
Posted on Twitter along with the caption ‘VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!’, the video has already been watched more than 7.3 million times and is now pinned at the top of the President’s profile.
It comes after Victor Willis, the only original member of the Village People group, begged Trump in June to stop using their songs at rallies. The 74-year-old has regularly used the 1978 hit YMCA at rallies across America to dance to after addressing his supporters.
Mr Trump has caught the eye of the public by signing off campaign events with a shimmy and shake of the hips and the occasional fist pump or clap of the hands as YMCA is played through loud speakers.
His moves at previous rallies have now been pulled together for the video that’s been posted on Twitter today. At 2:12 in length, the clip cuts from city to city and shows the President dance to the beat as crowds watch on.
It has received quite the response on Twitter, with more than 250,000 likes and 90,000 retweets. In the replies below, Twitter users have poked fun at the video.
The Tweet is a stark change from Mr. Trump’s usually serious and political statements on Twitter and is a last-ditch attempt from him to drum up extra voters and supporters before US election polls close later this evening.
