And MAGA, on the other hand, makes people happy.
I’m not much of a spontaneous laugher, but the explosion of videos with people doing the “Trump Dance” just cracks me up. When President Trump started showing off a few of his signature moves during the 2020 campaign, I thought the whimsical addition to his rallies provided a bit of levity to an otherwise stressful time, during which COVID dominated the headlines. Then I noticed that college-aged social media users had adapted Trump’s routine into a game similar to Dance Dance Revolution. Trending videos on YouTube and TikTok highlighted young people trying to replicate his movements with a split screen showing Trump dancing on one side and competitive mimics on the other. The “Trump Dance” became a cultural phenomenon.
The late, great Andrew Breitbart was keen on reminding conservatives that politics is downstream from culture. It is only right, then, that his eponymous publication featured a story a few days ago that captured how popular the “Trump Dance” has become. The Breitbart article includes videos of Argentinian president Javier Milei breaking out to the “Trump Dance” with supporters, San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa celebrating with his teammates on the field, and numerous young men and women enjoying the Donald Trump dance craze. If you look at any social media platform, you can find videos of people all over the world doing the “Trump Dance” at parties, in bars, at sporting events, and near historical landmarks. The funny little dance is a global sensation.
Now, this might seem silly to a lot of people. We have so many serious problems today, and Americans struggling to make ends meet don’t have time for an extra helping of nonsense.

“ideos of Argentinian president Javier Milei breaking out to the ‘Trump Dance’”
When he be-bopped into the banquet room, I couldn’t stop laughing.
No, you were just plan stupid and myopic. Not really something you should post about or be proud of. Virtue signal elsewhere..
Detroit Lions celebrate a sack by doing the Trump dance and golf swing
This appears to be spreading around the NFL, mostly black and a black audience of many millions.
Democrat friend sure as Hell made ME joyful…
Like that German psychiatrist sitting under a tree… you know, “Schadin’ Freude”
A gesture or attribute popping up like that is a sign of respect and popularity. With all that Trump has been through, he surely deserves it.
Democrats hate everything starting with children and families. But they have to create fake families to fake the traditional narrative.Kamala hung around cat ladies and Liz Cheney the bomb thrower. Kamala hates families. Biden has only one use for his family.I doubt Joe ever cared about any of his kids they were props.Obama terrible faker.

Almost 90 seconds of pure joy.
After the Tampon Timmy bit...
CRANK IT.
It brought this American joy.
Crank it!!!
That was fun!
No. You’re wrong. Obama had a great opportunity to declare that America elected a black man as president and that racism is over. Instead he did the exact opposite and whined about race incessantly.
It’s not the black it’s the red.
That’s not the context of the conversation.
What is the context pray tell?
One of Trump’s first proposal was a year long celebration leading up to the 250 anniversary of our country’s founding. What better opportunity than to spend this year uniting with all Americans to do good things for the country. From small things like coming together as a community to clean up parks or organizing local celebrations honoring veterans, to bigger projects like building housing for the homeless. Two hundred years ago Alexis de Tocqueville traveling in this young country marveled how citizens would create civic projects, build schools and do other public good works solely on their own initiative. It is time we rediscover this American trait.
>>Allow me to suggest, however, that the widespread enthusiasm for the “Trump Dance” is a healthy sign for a society that has been deprived of authentic joy for far too long.<<
I was going to copy that sentence into my own post, but you’ve already done it. So I’ll just say that it really does feel good to have JOY these days, especially when compared to the feelings we’ve all had for the past four years!
