Country music legend George Strait delighted fans during a recent performance in Las Vegas by breaking into the “Trump dance,” the now-iconic move popularized by President-elect Donald Trump during his campaign rallies.

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD, USA- February 24, 2024: Donald Trump speaks at CPAC about his plan for defeating current President Joe Biden in November.

Strait’s rendition of the dance took place on Saturday night at Allegiant Stadium, adding to a growing list of notable figures who have embraced the lighthearted gesture since Trump’s landslide election victory.

The “Trump dance,” typically performed by Trump to the Village People’s classic song “Y.M.C.A.,” became a staple of his high-energy campaign rallies.

Argentina’s newly elected President Javier Milei joined the trend during a visit to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Milei, a staunch ally of Trump, was seen enthusiastically performing the dance in a lighthearted moment that further solidified his alignment with the incoming administration.

While some left-leaning media personalities, including late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, have mocked the dance, their criticism appears to have little impact on its growing cultural significance.

Victor Willis, lead singer of the Village People, has offered his endorsement of Trump’s use of “Y.M.C.A.,” expressing gratitude that his music has become a rallying cry for the president-elect’s movement.

“I’m glad I allowed the President-elect’s continued use of ‘Y.M.C.A.’ And I thank him for choosing to use my song,” Willis said in a Facebook post, even giving Trump’s dance an “A” grade.
