A particularly heartwarming moment unfolded during the Commander-in-Chief’s Inauguration Ball in Washington, D.C. This occasion was marked by the enthusiastic applause that Donald and Melania Trump received from the audience, as well as their inaugural dance, which beautifully highlighted Melania’s grace, elegance, and beauty. During this dance, Melania briefly engaged in what has been dubbed the “Trump dance,” a moment that resonated well with online viewers.
The highlight of the evening occurred when President Donald Trump ceremoniously cut the cake with a saber, a moment that has become iconic in its own right. As he performed this act, Melania, positioned slightly away from him, began to execute the “Trump dance,” a routine reminiscent of the YMCA dance that Trump often showcased at his rallies. She continued this playful display as Trump turned to acknowledge her.
Brian Clowdus, a conservative figure on X (formerly Twitter), shared a clip capturing Melania’s dance while her husband was out of frame, cutting the cake with his saber. He remarked, “Melania is having the time of her life. These next four years are going to be ICONIC!!!”
In response to his post, one commenter expressed, “I love seeing her let loose and be happy! After everything they have endured over the past eight years, she truly deserves this joy!” Another added, “I love it! They’ve put Melania and her entire family through hell. It’s wonderful to see her enjoy herself and reveal her true self!”
One individual claimed that this was the first instance of Melania performing the Trump dance in public, a statement that is somewhat inaccurate but nonetheless endearing, stating, “For the record, this is the very first time Melania has done The Trump Dance – publicly anyway. She was clearly having a blast today, once she escaped from the swamp monsters.”
This moment was complemented by another delightful instance of the Trump dance, as Melania laughed and smiled while her husband, wielding his cake-cutting saber, showcased his own rendition of the “Trump Dance” on stage in an exuberant manner. One user on X remarked, “Okay, the best.”
Another user expressed their enjoyment of Melania singing along while her husband performed his well-known dance with a saber, remarking, “Melania singing along to YMCA while Trump dances with a sword 😂.” A fellow commenter concurred, stating, “I loved this! This was great! 😂🤣😂.”
Conservative personality Matt Couch also shared a similar video of Trump dancing with the saber, capturing Melania’s joyful reaction as she smiled, laughed, and sang along. He captioned the clip, “Melania lost it as President Trump dances with a sword to YMCA 😂😂😂.” One commenter noted, “hahahaha she loves him so much. J.D. and his wife are also enjoying a good laugh. Kudos to the Marines who managed to keep a straight face!” You can view that moment here:
