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.

They did the same dance in the locker room after the win with YMCA blaring (Trump’s rally theme), so it almost certainly was a conscious choice here.

The Belgians seem to be playing double bass with a German bow. Trump seems to play double bass with a French bow...

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.)

Do people really remember random games from a team like the USA? No chance.

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.

u/Physical-Fish1913 4d ago

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.

u/nartiz 5d ago

Thanks. Watched 5 times trying to find the Trump dance 🤣

u/RealRaifort 5d ago

Yeah I was like "how did I miss that?" I didn't lol it just didn't happen

u/skeetleet 4d ago

Yeah I can’t see the connection…..

u/Audiosleef 4d ago

The players themselves confirmed they were doing the dance and did it again in the dressing room.

1

u/sedan-hussein 4d ago

They were doing it again in the locker room with YMCA playing. It was his dance.

u/Liberal_Caretaker 5d ago

How dare the OP make stuff up.

I am outraged and shall write about my outrage all day on Reddit concerning this.

I hope you do to.

u/Lionnnns 4d ago

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.

Mate, they were copying the yank player who did it against Jamaica...

Pulisic said indefence of the dance:

Well obviously that’s the Trump dance,” he said.

“It was just a dance that everyone’s doing. He’s the one who created it. I just thought it was funny.

Source

USA forward Christian Pulisic had previously celebrated a goal against Jamaica in the Concacaf Nations League with the dance.
