Trump Comes Clean: Melania Hates It When He Dances To ‘Gay National Anthem’

President Donald Trump came clean to supporters in Florida on Friday, admitting that First Lady Melania Trump does not like it when he dances to The Village People’s 1978 hit “Y.M.C.A.”

Trump, speaking at The Villages retirement community, referred to the disco tune as the “Gay National Anthem” and said that his wife felt it was “unpresidential” that he insisted on dancing to the upbeat tune at every opportunity.

“She hates when I dance, too, at the end,” Trump said with a smile, prompting laughter from the audience. “She hates when I dance to what’s sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem. You know that? She hates it.”

“You know, that song was No. 5, 32 years ago, and it went to No. 1, 32 years later,” the president asserted — although when the song was first released in 1978, it ultimately landed at Number 2 on the Billboard charts. It first hit Number 1 on the charts in 2024, during the presidential campaign.

“There’s never been anything like it. It never hit No. 1. It was No.5, 32 years ago. And it went No. 1 for months during the last months of the game,” Trump added.

“We love that song,” Trump said of his supporters.

He continued: “But she goes, ‘Darling, please –’ you know she’s a very elegant woman – she goes, ‘Darling, please don’t dance. It’s not presidential.’ I said, ‘It may not be presidential, but I’m leading by 20 points in the polls or something.”

Trump has been dancing to the disco beat on rally stages across the United States for years — and has inspired many to follow suit. Even NFL players have taken to doing “The Trump Dance” to celebrate after major plays.
