Add Christian Pulisic to the growing list of athletes doing the Donald Trump dance – the latest viral way to celebrate in sports.

Pulisic, captain of the U.S. men’s national soccer team, scored his first goal in a match against Jamaica in the 13th minute, and quickly burst into a Trump dance to celebrate.

It was the first of two goals Pulisic scored as USMNT defeated Jamaica, 4-2, on Monday night in St. Louis. With a 5-2 aggregate score against Jamaica, the USMNT advanced to the Concacaf Nations League semifinals. The semifinals and final of the Concacaf Nations League will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, from March 20-23. The USMNT are three-time defending Concacacf Nations League champions.

As for the Trump dance, it’s the latest craze in sports since Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

“I’ve seen everyone do it,” Bowers told USA TODAY Sports. “I watched the UFC fight [Saturday] night and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC so I saw it, and thought it was cool.”

San Francisco 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa started the Trump dance trend in the NFL, while several college football players have also participated with dances of their own.
