Showing off his new big tent, the returning president played circus master to a strange kind of union. Sign up for Trump’s Return, a newsletter featuring coverage of the second Trump presidency.

As the rally wrapped up, Trump danced and clapped along to the Village People’s 1978 hit “Y.M.C.A.,” a song frequently played at his campaign rallies. Smiling, he stood behind the group, delivering his trademark moves while the crowd cheered.

The Village People’s appearance at the Trump rally underscores his political comeback, even among his one-time nemeses—its manager Karen Willis, wife of band member Victor Willis, sent Trump’s lawyer a cease-and-desist letter after he was filmed dancing to “Macho Man” at Mar-A-Lago in 2023, Rolling Stone reported.

The president-elect’s celebratory rally in Washington, DC, concluded with a performance by the ’70s disco group.

The president-elect performed his signature dance moves with the band, who once tried to ban him using their music.

"Y.M.C.A." is known to be a favorite of Donald Trump's, and its singer plans to be on hand for the president-elect's swearing in.
