A month after Donald Trump spontaneously danced at a political rally, the moves have made their way to sporting events across the country.
After two attendees fainted at a rally in Pennsylvania on Oct. 15, Trump concluded: “Let’s just listen to music. Who wants to hear the questions?” Later, according to reporters at the rally, he danced for about 40 minutes.
After Trump returned to his second term by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris, these steps remained only a pre-election surprise moment in the world of politics.

When asked what inspired the dance, Bosa told reporters, “I think you know the answer to that question.” San Francisco Chronicle. “All the kids wanted me to do it. I wasn’t going to do it, but the boys reminded me. And it was fun.”
It wasn’t Bosa’s first time on the field this season; In October, Bosa was fined $11,255 by the NFL for violating the league’s uniform policy after he crashed a postgame interview wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat.
