Washington: Former US President Donald Trump has revealed a light-hearted and personal detail about his public appearances. Trump said his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, strongly dislikes his trademark dancing at political rallies and believes it does not suit the dignity of a president.
Trump made these remarks while addressing Republican lawmakers at a meeting in Washington on Tuesday. His comments quickly drew attention, as he spoke candidly about Melania’s views on his on-stage behavior.
“My Wife Doesn’t Like My Dancing,” Says Trump
During his speech, Trump openly admitted that Melania does not approve of his dance moves. He described her as a “very classy person” and said she often reminds him that certain gestures look unbecoming for someone who has held the highest office in the country.
“My wife does not like me dancing like this at all,” Trump told the gathering. He added that Melania often says such actions do not fit the image of a president. Trump, however, responded with humor, saying that his unconventional style is one of the reasons people supported him.
YMCA Dance and Gesture Controversy
Trump is well known for dancing in his own style when the popular song ‘YMCA’ plays at the end of his speeches. This routine has become a familiar sight at his political rallies. Despite Melania’s disapproval, Trump continues to perform the dance, often drawing cheers from supporters.
He also revealed that Melania does not like certain gestures he uses while speaking about sensitive topics. Trump said she especially opposes his weightlifting-style gestures when he criticizes the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports. According to Trump, Melania once asked him whether former President Franklin D. Roosevelt would have ever danced on stage.
Trump Dances Again Despite Objections
Melania Trump did not attend the Republican lawmakers’ meeting. Still, Trump chose to end his speech in his usual style. He danced once again before leaving the stage, despite previously saying that his wife had urged him not to do so.
The moment added a humorous touch to the political gathering and quickly became a talking point. When reporters later sought a response, Melania Trump’s press secretary declined to comment on Trump’s statements.
Trump’s remarks offered a rare glimpse into the personal dynamics behind his public persona. Even as he acknowledges his wife’s discomfort, Trump appears determined to maintain his distinctive and unconventional approach on the political stage.
