The “joy” of the Trump campaign has spilled over into the days following a landslide election victory and it seems one particular Trump-ism is going viral.
President-elect Donald Trump’s fun dance moves on the campaign trail have brought smiles and imitations over the course of the race. But in the last weeks, and especially after his stunning election victory, it seems to have taken on a life of its own.
MAGA supporters, sports figures, and even international politicos have been captured on camera doing their version of the Trump dance.
