Donald Trump celebrated his becoming the 47th president late into the night on Monday — and that meant dancing to “YMCA” — only this time he put a different twist on his routine.
The newly crowned commander-in-chief stood on stage – brandishing a sword – at the inaugural ball in DC alongside his wife Melania and Vice President JD Vance and his significant other Usha
Trump's favorite tune, “YMCA” by the Village People, played at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center as he moved to the beat of the music – and brandished the sword that was handed to him to cut a large cake.
Check out the video… Trump is in the middle of his little sword dance as Melania giggles and JD and Usha smile and laugh. Everyone seems amused by Donald's deft swordplay.
At one point, Trump even cuts through the air with his sword in a downward motion before blowing a kiss to the crowd. Then the Prez turns around and hands the sword to a US soldier.
On the military front, Trump also spoke to U.S. soldiers stationed in South Korea during a video call at the inaugural ball.

One of the first questions Trump asked them was how Kim Jong Un was doing, before calling the North Korean dictator a “tough guy.”
This is Trump, people!
