STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — On Friday, November 29, over 200 supporters of President-elect Donald Trump assembled at Midland Beach Splaza for a flash mob, performing his signature dance to the tune of “YMCA” by The Village People.

The event, organized by the Staten Island Republican Party, encouraged participants to “shake off your Thanksgiving turkey with the dance that’s sweeping the nation.”

Attendees engaged in a conga line, waved Trump flags, and competed for prizes, including garbage can trophies and Trump dolls.

Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella, who participated in the event, remarked, “The dance has taken on a life of itself.”

The “Trump Dance,” characterized by arrhythmic hip sways and air punches, gained popularity during Trump’s campaign and has been emulated by professional athletes and supporters nationwide.

The flash mob’s flyer described the dance as a “nationwide sensation,” reflecting its widespread appeal among Trump’s supporters.
