‘Trump Dance’ sweeps American sports

Cage fighter Jon Jones was first up, busting out the Trump moves seconds after his victory in the Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday night — in front of a live audience including Trump himself, billionaire Elon Musk, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, incoming Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and several other MAGA heavyweights.

Trump shared a video of Jones’ homage on his Truth Social account Sunday.

In the National Football League — which irritated the president-elect repeatedly during his first term, as star players knelt down during the national anthem to protest against police brutality in the U.S. — awkward jigging practically went viral Sunday afternoon.

Multiple Detroit Lions defensemen, led by Za’Darius Smith, did the dance to celebrate a big play in the final moments of a huge win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith even mimicked a little golf swing, a recent added flourish by Trump to his on-stage boogieing.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers broke out the jig to celebrate a third quarter touchdown, and was later asked about it by a reporter from USA Today.

“I’ve seen everyone do it. I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC so I saw it, and thought it was cool,” Bowers said after the game, which Las Vegas lost 34-19 to the Miami Dolphins.
