New Delhi: Newly elected American president Donald Trump’s viral dance moves are not just making waves in political circles but have also taken the internet by storm, becoming a global sensation. What started as a quirky move during his campaign rallies has now made its way to unexpected places – including the football field.
Joining the growing list of athletes mimicking the “Trump dance” is none other than U.S. men’s national soccer team captain Christian Pulisic.
In the recent Concacaf Nations League clash, the United States secured a 4-2 victory against Jamaica. Pulisic opened the scoring in the 13th minute, and his celebration quickly stole the spotlight. Instead of a routine fist pump or run, Pulisic broke into the now-viral Trump dance, much to the delight of fans. The moment, captured on video, spread like wildfire across social media, garnering millions of views and reactions.

After the match, Pulisic addressed the buzz around his celebration. “Obviously, that’s the ‘Trump dance.’ It was just a dance that everyone is doing. He’s the one who created it. I just thought it was funny,” Pulisic said with a smile, downplaying the viral moment.
The USMNT secured their place in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals with a 5-2 aggregate win over Jamaica. The semifinals and final are set to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, from March 20 to 23. The U.S. team enters the next stage as three-time reigning champions of the tournament.
