Christian Pulisic came under attention after performing the ‘Trump Dance’ in celebration, a move he clarified was inspired by a viral trend, not any political message.
Although the dance alluded to the newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump, Pulisic stands by his actions.
“I don’t feel any differently about it now than I did back then,” Pulisic explained. “It was just a popular dance trend, something I’ve done plenty of times in my career.”
Looking back on his past actions, Pulisic added, “Whether it’s a dab or some other goofy dance people still tease me about—probably because I’m not the best dancer—I’ve never felt strongly about it.
It was never meant as a statement. It was simply a fun, lighthearted moment. Anyone trying to read more into it is honestly overthinking it.”
