By now, most people are familiar with Donald Trump’s now-iconic dance moves—the side-to-side fist pumps and grandpa-style rhythm that somehow keep going viral. Love them or hate them, they’ve undeniably become a part of the Trump brand. And this time, the former U.S. President brought the same energy to a crowd of parents, kids, and staff at a White House event.
In a resurfaced video posted by Margo Martin, Special Assistant and Communications Advisor to President of US, Trump is seen breaking into his signature “YMCA” dance at a “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” gathering. With the Village People classic playing in the background, he smiles, points, and pumps his fists in that familiar fashion—earning laughter and cheers from the crowd, including many children.
The clip, drenched in what many online are calling peak grandpa energy , has now racked up over 100,000 views across platforms. Users seem to be enjoying the moment, with many calling it “classic Trump” and sharing the video with amused captions and memes.
One user said, “Trump loves children. He’s a man of the people.” A second user said, “I love that he’s not only the ultimate leader but he’s a grandpa. Loves kids. but he doesn’t sniff them!”
Another user pointed out, “A human who multitasks, managing war conflicts and global deals while celebrating " Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day " with a smile and a dance, is my definition of a great person.”
What is “Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day”?
"Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" is an annual event where parents bring their children to work to expose them to different careers and the value of education. It's a day that encourages kids to explore various job possibilities and provides them with a glimpse into the world of work. The event is typically held on the fourth Thursday in April.
The event began in 1992 as "Take Our Daughters to Work Day," with the goal of empowering girls. The program expanded in 2003 to include boys, making it "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" and broadening the scope of career exploration for all children.
