US soccer star Christian Pulisic insists Trump dance isn’t political: ‘Thought it was fun’

American soccer star Christian Pulisic went viral on Monday night when his goal against Jamaica in the Nations League sparked his own version of a President-elect Donald Trump-inspired dance.

The viral dance move has been seen across the sports spectrum. The NFL told Fox News Digital that it would not issue a penalty against players from the league. UFC stars paid tribute while the president-elect sat in a cage at Madison Square Garden.

Pulisic was just the latest to follow the trend. He told reporters after the win that he thought it was “fun”.

“Well, of course it’s the Trump dance,” he said via Athletics. “It was just a dance that everybody did. He created it. I just thought it was funny.

“It’s not a political dance. It was just for fun. I saw a lot of people doing it and I thought it was funny, so I enjoyed it. I hope at least some people did.”

The dance craze reared its head when San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa did it after sacking Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield.

It exploded in several athletes who made the move this past weekend.

“People were scared for a while. You don’t want people talking bad about you the way we’ve been talked about for the last four years if you’re a Donald Trump supporter,” NFL great Brian Urlacher said on Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
