My Hips Made ‘Gay National Anthem’ Popular Again!!!

Donald Trump says he made the “gay national anthem” popular again … implying his dance moves gave “Y.M.C.A” its groove back.
POTUS appeared at an event in The Villages — a retirement community in Florida — on Friday … when he brought up the famous song by The Village People.
Trump points out the song rose to new heights in 2024 during his presidential campaign … with Billboard announcing back then that the track — originally released in 1978 — spent a fifth week at No. 1 on Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales, the most for any group in 2024.
DJT inflates the song’s success a bit — no surprise there — claiming it topped the charts for months … not quite, but it certainly received some help from then-candidate Trump.
Of course, he says his signature dance — fists raised, hips swiveling — helped the song go viral … even though he says First Lady Melania Trump begged him not to dance since it doesn’t look “presidential.”
That won’t stop this prez, though … who busted out the moves onstage Friday while at the event in Florida — even throwing in a golf swing for good measure.

Remember … on the weekend of Trump’s 2025 inauguration, The Village People hit the stage with President Trump and danced along with him while celebrating his victory.
Many in the LGBTQ+ community expressed distaste for the performance given the Trump administration’s stance on trans people … though Village People star Victor Willis has always insisted the song isn’t about gay sex — it’s really a song for both parties.
In fact, Victor told us those calling the group’s hit a gay anthem is actually “hurting the song” when he joined us on “TMZ Live” back in 2024 — a little over a year before The Village People danced with Trump.
Trump’s hips don’t lie … the band made a killing back in 2024 — and his dance moves seem to be the reason why, according to the prez himself.
