After a full day of inaugural events, speeches and signing executive orders, President Donald Trump was just getting started Monday night, and a video clip of him doing his signature YMCA dance with a military sword is going viral on social media.
The moment happened at the Commander in Chief Ball, the first of three inaugural balls Trump attended Monday night. He was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, VP JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance on stage.
Trump paid tribute to the U.S. military, and participated in a virtual video conference with troops stationed in South Korea, who congratulated him on his inauguration.
Both Trump and Vance were then given swords to cut a massive military cake, which, notably, had a replica of the new Air Force One plane version that Trump had originally ordered when he was in office during his first term.
They each made a couple slices at separate ends of the cake, and then held up their swords and appeared to be finished.
Then Trump held up his sword and began his signature dance to the Village People’s “YMCA” song, as the audience went wild with cheers.
