The return leg of the CONCACAF Nations League semi-final is currently underway between USMNT and Jamaica. Already ahead narrowly on an aggregate score line, Mauricio Pochettino‘s side is again ahead within the half-hour mark at St. Louis, Missouri-based CITYPARK, courtesy of a brace from Christian Pulisic. However, it’s rather his first-goal celebration that is making rounds on the internet as he hits the Donald Trump dance!

The American boys managed to break the deadlock with a decent finish from their skipper, who after instantly scoring the goal in the 13th minute ran towards the corner to celebrate the goal in a unique way. Making a big leap, Pulisic flared his hands out and started shaking his hip and pumping his hands at his waist level. The AC Milan forward performed this dance for a few seconds until he was joined by his other teammates, who started hugging him and patting his back.

Notably, Pulisic is just one of the athletes who actually carried forward this trend for the second time this week. Most recently, during this Sunday’s UFC Heavyweight main event, renowned fighter Joe Jones also pulled a shimmy after he remarkably managed to knock out rival Stipe Miocic in the third round. In fact, the dance was performed by the 37-year-old American MMA fighter in front of Donald Trump, who was present at the Madison Square Garden.

Sunday also saw not one but five NFL stars hit the Trump boogie dance on the football pitch. Las Vegas Raiders’ tight end Brock Bowers did the same and was apparently inspired by Jones himself. “I saw it and thought it was cool,” Mr. Bowers told reporters as per the New York Times.

Interestingly, Christian Pulisic was the latest to have hit the iconic dance step while representing his nation’s red, blue, and white colors. Hence, it was only logical to see this moment break the internet among ardent USMNT fans.  

Christian Pulisic divides the USMNT fans over his Donald Trump-inspired shimmy dance

The latest celebration pulled by Christian Pulisic has divided the American audience on X, formerly Twitter. While some are talking about it with all the positivity, others just seem to be frustrated and have rather turned against the former Borussia Dortmund man.

Surprisingly, Brock Bowers’ post-match comments were not included in the team’s postgame videos, the NFL’s effort to steer clear of any implicit endorsements, whether through dance or other gestures. Hence, it’s only natural to see Christian Pulisic’s dance prompted some broadcasters to avoid showing the soccer star’s antics, given the hyperpartisan and often conspiracy-driven political climate.

It had to be Alexi Lalas, didn’t it? A true Donald Trump supporter, who had been quite active in campaigning about the 78-year-old throughout the summer. No wonder after Lalas saw the USMNT skipper hit Trump’s shimmy dance, the iconic defender was left pumped up and even backed his former team to win the World Cup!

We are not the ones to ignite a political debate here, but it looks like Christian Pulisic’s latest celebration pull seems to have sprinkled salt on the wounds of the anti-Donald Trump supporters. Either way, this fan is ready to risk everything to see it with pleasure.

Of course, the negative reactions had to come up. Ever since Donald Trump won the recently held US Presidential elections, there has been a wave of criticism and neglect against him. Whether sarcastic or serious, looks like this fan has quit the Christian Pulisic fan club after seeing the AC Milan star hit the dance.

The hate seems to be increasing on Pulisic. Everyone knows that on the other side of the US National Team, a.k.a the American ladies, there are few who aren’t in support of Donald Trump. Hence, it was expected to see the 26-year-old forward get slammed by a few fans over his Trump-inspired gig.

This was actually just a glimpse of what you saw as there are countless of positive and negative reactions on Christian Pulisic hitting the Donald Trump shimmy dance. Regardless, we would like to know your thoughts in the comments.
