First lady Melania Trump is reportedly no fan of her husband’s dancing or weightlifting impressions, the latter of which he deploys to criticize transgender athletes, President Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday.
Trump, who frequently breaks into his now-signature moves to the Village People’s “YMCA” at campaign rallies and public events, told House Republicans during a closed-door retreat at the Kennedy Center that his “very classy” wife strongly disapproves of the routine.
It’s “not presidential,” he recalled her saying. But Trump told her, “Everybody wants me to dance.”
“She actually said, ‘Could you imagine FDR dancing?’” Trump said, referring to former President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Trump, grinning, said he responded by suggesting there was context she might be overlooking, noting that Roosevelt, who used a wheelchair after contracting polio, “wouldn’t be doing this.”
