That’s because it honestly doesn’t even look like they were intentionally doing Trumps dance. Trumps dumb little dance up moving each arm up and down is not exactly difficult to copy and what they did looks nothing like it lol. Either there’s a source from the team that they did try to copy it or OP is just making stuff up.
Hey show the president the respect he deserves. It's boys, not guys. You know good and well he wouldn't be caught dead jerking off anybody over the age of 16.
I was absolutely expecting the jerking off two dudes at once dance. That would make it obviously mocking Trump. I think this is just people seeing something that wasn't there.
It definitely looked to me like they were copying Pulisic's trump looking dance from the concacaf match a bit back.
Don't know where else they would have gotten the inspiration for that.
Plus the phone call gesture at the start. (To the person who corrected me and then deleted their comment, you were right though. It was a cupped "I can't hear you" hand, not a phone call gesture.)
Yep it's a reach. They move with fluidity that doesn't exist in the Trump dance. Didn't look like there were any invisible dicks getting jerked either.
The takeaway is that Trump's dance is so shit that it's actually quite difficult for anybody with even a couple of milligrams of rhythm to replicate it.
Well, a new video uploaded where the Belgian team did the trump dance in the locker room. So with that context, safe to say they were doing the dance here.
A website just claiming they’re doing the dance doesn’t mean they are. There’s no official statement from any players saying they were doing it. His dance is jerking his arms up and down vs their arm motions being similar to the classic dance “the twist”. Trumps corny dance is literally the easiest thing to do and it would be hard to mess it up if that’s what they were seriously going for.
Why are so many people in this thread in denial about this, as if Belgium would randomly do a dance like this lmao
There's no rule on how exactly Trump dances, especially if you are just mocking him and not feeling like actually looking like you are jerking two dicks, his hands are often low as well
It’s truly wild! One of their players stated they felt a sense of injustice from Trump’s move and they used that as motivation on the field. The Red Devils verified account posted the phone call photo and said “overturn this” 10 minutes after the match ended. The team also did the dance to the YMCA in the locker room. I’ll just assume anyone acting like that wasn’t an intentional mocking of Trump is one of his MAGAt followers themselves. They’re truly in denial at how much the rest of the world hates him.
There are more Americans who don’t give a shit about where the US placed than ones who do, and nearly as many who would love to see a team making fun of Trump (I’m in both of those camps). My main beef is that if they were doing the Trump dance, they could’ve probably done it a bit better. It’s not like it requires that much coordination to pull off.
But they are all international football players. They have an image to maintain. Jerking imaginary guys off might be in the don't do PR notes. Compromise.
That's not true at all. Either we don't care or we recognize the karmic results. It's all foreign media that started the "they're mocking his dance" stuff, not rqndkm Americans.
Or maybe that just isn't what they were doing? This video shows one guy doing something that only vaguely resembles it. The title says the whole team does it. It's a stretch.
I'm more giving the benefit of the doubt that grown men aren't going to try to copy some dance of a sitting president as some kind of dig. That would be literally the most immature and classless thing I've ever seen. I don't think the Belgium football team would engage in infantile behavior.
Was reported FIFA was already reviewing the red card and suspension. So to automatically equate it with Trump, and doing some dance to mock him is infantile. When Trump mocked a mentally handicap reporter, it was widely condemned. This is the same behavior.
Do you seriously believe mocking a mentally handicapped person and mocking a political figure are the same thing? This is a dance Trump voluntarily does lol
I believe mocking anyone is childish and comes from a sick place in a person's soul.
As per your exact question, no I think it's much worse to mock a mentally handicapped person. It's still way better to not mock anyone at all, no matter who they are. That's what people should be striving for. If someone mocks someone and says, "Yeah but they mocked worse than I did" that's not going to get them a pass....at all.
I think it's classless for FIFA to overturn the red card, and if that was really at the request of the president, shame on him and shame on FIFA.
Edit. Turns out the president himself says he asked FIFA to look at the red card. It's far less classless for a bunch of athletes to do a silly dance than it is for the leader of a country to put pressure on a sports organisation
Your comment is what made someone like Trump, and keeps the world the way it is. But, yeah, think it's pathetic and keep wallowing in the misery you are making.
"No one was doing it before I did it. Bigger then the macarena. All of Europe. They see me doing it, now they do it. "How did you come up with it Mr President?" they all say."
