On the eve of his inauguration, Donald Trump once again danced, as “YMCA”, the hit by Village People played at the MAGA victory rally in Washington DC. The disco group will also perform at one of Trump’s inauguration balls.

President-elect Donald Trump closed out his "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" address by dancing with the Village People in a performance of the group's 'Y.M.C.A.' disco hit.

The president-elect’s celebratory rally in Washington, DC, concluded with a performance by the ’70s disco group.

The song actually came out about 46 years ago, in October 1978 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1979. In 2024, Trump's frequent use of the song drove it to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Digital Song Sales Chart, where it stayed for five weeks.
