President Donald Trump was seen busting a move upon his arrival in Malaysia over the weekend, sparking speculation over his health.
A clip that quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter) shows Trump, 79, grooving to the music as he approaches to greet what seem to be some of Malaysia’s leaders. Social media was awash with comments from users who didn’t hesitate to use X to roast the POTUS over his dance moves.
Despite the ridicule that often follows his dance breaks, the Commander-in-Chief isn’t shy about cutting a rug when he feels like it. Last year, he displayed his signature “bravado” dance moves at a Mar-a-Lago Easter brunch. It comes after the chilling reason Melania will never leave Donald was exposed by an ex-aide.

Several on X lambasted Trump’s moves in Malaysia, with one remarking, “he has the rhythm of a mannequin that’s been granted ten seconds of life to act human.”

Another shared, “wtf is he doing? How embarrassing He looks like he’s having a stroke,” while someone else chimed in, “So f—–g embarrassing.”, reports the Irish Star.
Meanwhile, a fourth added, “what in the cringelord is he doing.”
Some noted he wasn’t moving the left side of his body as much as the right, sparking speculation about his health, with one writing, “oh my God. I’m so embarrassed. And I guess he can’t move the other arm anymore. This is so humiliating.”
There was even one who wrote, “he couldn’t even try not to embarrass us.”
Trump sparked a comparable response when he began dancing at an Easter brunch held at his Mar-a-Lago estate in April 2024. A Trump backer reshared footage of his attention-grabbing departure with the message, “PRESIDENT Donald J Trump showing off his dance moves yesterday at the amazing Mar-a-Lago Easter celebration! Barron Trump following in his Dads footsteps! TRUMP 2024!”.

In the footage, Trump was seen enthusiastically waving his arm as he departed the gathering. Body language specialist Judi James told The Mirror that his motion “mimics drying the back of your neck with a towel after a shower,” and his hands were “balled into fists.”
She also noted he displayed “a rather determined facial expression,” which she believed was meant to make people smile, but she felt that this attempt at a victory gesture didn’t succeed and instead fell “flat.”
Judi continued, “Trump seems to make his exit from the room meaningful and emphatic here, throwing some high, ‘hail’ waves to the family, almost as though saying goodbye for a long time.”
Judi might have been alluding to the prospect of Trump spending the remainder of his life behind bars due to the criminal charges he was confronting early last year, before his hush-money trial involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels commenced on April 15.
It comes after Melania’s smile to Donald turned to disgust in an excruciating public outing.
