US President Donald Trump entertained students with his signature “Trump dance” during a youth fitness event held on the White House South Lawn. A video shared by the official White House social media account showed him performing his well-known arm-pumping moves as the popular song YMCA played in the background.

The event was organised to promote youth fitness and sports participation. Students joined Trump on the lawn as he smiled and demonstrated the dance steps before returning to the formal proceedings. The clip quickly gained traction online, with many users reacting to the light-hearted moment.

During the event, Trump also announced the return of the Presidential Fitness Test, a school fitness programme first introduced in 1956. The programme had previously been replaced with a health-focused initiative during the administration of Barack Obama.

Addressing students and athletes, Trump emphasised the importance of fitness, nutrition, and sports in daily life, calling physical fitness a national priority. The event was attended by schoolchildren, athletes, and senior officials, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Trump’s dance to YMCA has become a familiar feature at his public appearances, often drawing strong reactions online.
