NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A routine on Israel’s “Dancing with the Stars” made headlines this week for its humorous tribute to President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.
In the recently aired episode of “Rokdim Im Kokhavim,” the Israeli version of the popular reality dance competition television show, two professional dancers appear dressed as the president, in his signature blue suit and red tie, and the first lady in the navy blue outfit she wore to the inauguration earlier this year. As they listen to the National Anthem play, the dancer portraying Trump attempts to kiss Melania before she shoos him away and fixes his tie.
The music then switches to the Village People’s “YMCA” as the pair hit the dance floor. The dancer portraying Melania switches into an American flag outfit as the dancer portraying Trump breaks out into his signature dance moves.
