There are signs that the ‘Trump Dance’, performed by President-elect Donald Trump during the last US presidential election, will become popular in the sports world.
According to the New York Times (NYT) on the 18th (local time), an increasing number of players are imitating President-elect Trump’s movements as a ‘victory ceremony’ in the sports world, including the National Football League (NFL) and the UFC, a martial arts competition.
This movement, which President-elect Trump stiffly performed to music during his campaign, was initially the subject of laughter.
However, with the UFC event held at Madison Square Garden in New York on the 16th, the sports world’s perspective on the ‘Trump Dance’ changed.
This is because heavyweight champion Jon Jones, a Trump supporter, performed the ‘Trump dance’ towards President-elect Trump, who was sitting in the VIP section, after winning by TKO.
