Trump Claims Maduro Imitated His Dance Moves: A Side-by-Side Comparison

Speaking before Republican members of Congress at the Kennedy Center, former President Trump alleged that Nicolás Maduro, the former president of Venezuela, emulated his distinctive dance movements.

Maduro, who was reportedly apprehended by U.S. forces in a raid on Caracas on January 3, was known for his public displays of dancing, even featuring in a remix of one of his speeches set to a Latin house rhythm.

Trump himself is known to enjoy dancing, often to the Village People’s popular song, ‘YMCA.’ His characteristic dance, involving a side-to-side hip motion accompanied by alternating, restrained fist pumps, became a regular feature at his campaign rallies.
