Trump says wife Melania hates his dancing: 'It's so unpresidential'

President Trump shared that First Lady Melania Trump calls his dancing 'unpresidential' though supporters respond enthusiastically, with his YMCA dance a campaign hallmark.

  • On Jan. 6, 2026, President Donald Trump told House Republicans at the Kennedy Center that First Lady Melania Trump disapproves of his dancing, yet he briefly danced to YMCA after his speech.
  • Trump defended the antics as crowd-pleasing and said supporters want him to dance, adding he uses weightlifting mimicry to highlight transgender athlete issues for House Republicans.
  • Trump said `My wife hates when I do this` and repeated `She hates when I dance` while quoting the First Lady's disapproval during his speech.
  • Public attention rose as social media users pounced and the president's dancing spawned memes and imitators ahead of the film Melania and its Jan. 30 release.
  • Critics flagged the historical comparison while Brandon Chow rated Trump’s dancing three out of 10, and Melania Trump was absent with no immediate comment from the First Lady's press secretary.
