What began as a lighthearted gesture by San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa has quickly turned into a viral trend across the league.

Bosa first performed the dance during the 49ers’ victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.

After sacking quarterback Baker Mayfield, Bosa celebrated with Trump’s signature double-fisted low pump, a move often seen at rallies during Trump’s campaigns.

Bosa later confirmed the inspiration for his celebration. “Yeah, it’s the Trump dance,” he said in post-game remarks, acknowledging the resemblance.

The trend gained further momentum this past weekend, with players from multiple teams joining in during their respective games.

During the Las Vegas Raiders’ Sunday matchup, tight end Brock Bowers celebrated a third-quarter touchdown by performing his version of the Trump Dance.

Their synchronized celebration highlighted the growing popularity of the move among NFL players.

The celebratory moment further cemented the move as a league-wide phenomenon.

The spread of the Trump Dance across the NFL comes shortly after Trump’s sweeping victory in the recent election.

The embrace of a move associated with Trump marks a cultural shift for the NFL, which has historically faced criticism from conservative audiences over perceived anti-American sentiments during recent years.

The Trump Dance has also taken off on social media, with clips of players’ celebrations going viral.

Fans have shared videos of the moves, tagging them with phrases like #TrumpDanceChallenge and #MAGAcelebration.

The lighthearted trend has resonated with fans across the political spectrum, offering a rare moment of levity in a divisive political climate.

As the NFL heads into the later weeks of the season, the Trump Dance shows no signs of slowing down.

Whether it becomes a permanent fixture or fades as a passing trend, it has already left its mark on the 2024 season.
