knightedgemedia.comTrump quips about dancing to a 'gay national anthem' in remarks about Melania
Donald Trump said, "Melania hates when I dance to what's sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem" during recent remarks. He did not identify a specific song, echoing a jokey label that has been applied to various anthems and pop tracks. That matters because a former president using a 'gay national anthem' line turns LGBTQ culture into a rhetorical target and highlights his penchant for provocative, personal jabs in public remarks.
Trump: "The first lady hates when I dance to what is sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem. We love that song."
is it ymca or macho man?
yeah, we all hate it too
what is this press conference supposed to be about?
32 years ago? That would be 1994. Y.M.C.A. was released 1978. That’s 48 years ago. It was also #2 on Billboard, not #5.
He’s so back in the 70’s when disco reigned, before AIDS slaughtered gays/hemophiliacs/the emergency-transfused, when Donald thought himself king of Manhattan, but where everyone knew him as a classless schmuck. We may be in 2026, but he’s still a classless (now very old) schmuck.
32 years ago was 1994.
She hates him more though.
Does she hate the song or does she hate what Trump refers to as “dancing” when the song is playing? Never mind, probably doesn’t matter.
She hates you Orange Turd, not the song!
Bit of a stretch to call it dancing.
He is very macho man .
Fun fact: Melania is not the only one who feels a little sick every time they see that bizarre display.
The first lady is too judgmental.
He needs to be in an inpatient psych unit. Not in ANY position of power.
Is that the imperial we
We’re five minutes away from his starting to brag about how big his dick is and how much Melania loves having sex with him. He sounds like a drunk crazy person.
I don't know weather to laugh or cry.
She probably just hates that he dances, in general. And that he breathes, and talks; his entire existence perhaps.
I hate when he breathes.
He really is at war with himself. I love that for him.
She just hates him. Period.
He is so damn random.
Someone should ask him what year it was 32 years ago
Though she is no "Einstein", she is smart enough to know what an idiot he is.
They never should have taken his TV show away. This is when he’s happiest. He loves just standing on a stage and babbling incoherently. If we just let him do that on TV forever, none of this would be happening.
Hey Donnie, talk about Arnold Palmer's d*ck size again.
This seems so weird for the president (or anyone, for that matter) to say at a public event.
Hahahaha those funny, old bigots. THEY AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE ELECTED PRESIDENT. TWICE.
I remember going to a wedding where one was a cop in Chicago and all his cop friends danced to YMCA. This was pre-Trump and I just sat there with my mouth open.....
The President of the United States, everybody - let’s give him a hand. Next on open mic night is Dave from Home Depot, please remember to tip your servers
No Donald even without dancing she hates you.
My God. The bar for the leader of the free world is so low it's melted into the bottom of hell. Seriously, how does our country come back from this kind of pathetic embarrassment?
She shows her disgust, by slapping away his dead hands
What is happening?! Why is it happening?!
Go ahead and ask us what we hate, you big dumb ass...
Dance is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
We all have an idea why he likes to dance to YMCA. Because he is a closeted gay guy that likes men as much as women or maybe more... His adoration of males is extraordinary. Just ask Jack Nicolas, the well hung golfer.
Not much left of the ol' frontal and temporal lobes, huh?
Melania doesn’t like the circlejerk dance. I’m shocked.
Took me a sec to realize that he wasn’t calling the Star Spangled Banner gay, and is in fact referring to a different song.
Needs some lessons from this minister. bsky.app/profile/nbcn...
Trump: "[Melania] hates when I dance at the end, too. She hates when I dance to what's sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem."
He definitely means the "YMCA", which hit #2 in the charts in *1979* - almost fifty years ago. Bro's brain is gone. Shout out to Tim Miller on @thebulwark.com who has consistently said Trump is stuck in 1979. Nailed it.
She has so definitely pegged him
If he could give us all a break and just STFU for 48 hours I would feel like I took a brief but peaceful vacation.
That song wasn't No. 5 32 years ago. It was No. 2 48 years ago.
You mean that dance he does where it looks like he's jerking off two guys at once to the gay national anthem
the cropped frame nails Trump: "Olden Years"
Also, we now know that Trump is aware that his homophobic pals don’t love that “the gay national anthem” is his signature song. I’ve seen plenty of MAGA people deny that the song has any connection to queerness whatsoever.
Who can forget this great moment in YMCA history? www.cnn.com/2024/12/06/e...
I'm sure the sole remaining original Village People member who has made "WE WEREN'T A GAY BAND" his whole identity also loves it.
The thing that gets me is when the gays claim EVERYTHING. Like who died and made you queen of the desert? And Julie Numar wasn't a gay man, was she? Next you're going to tell me that The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls In Love was gay. Stop trying to steal straight culture and get your own!
You can’t have the YMCA without Christian, Seth!
