President Trump offered Republican members of Congress a stand-up routine involving an imitation of transgender athletes lifting weights at the House GOP Member retreat earlier today.
The President said that his wife “hates” when he does this and considers it “unpresidential.”
“She said, ‘darling please, the weightlifting is terrible’,” the President recounts, before launching into his impersonation, replete with sound effects. The impression has been a regular feature of Trump’s rally speeches over the last year or so.
Melania, he claimed, also said that his audiences didn’t like his dancing, pointing out that FDR would never dance as a counter-example. Trump conceded in his speech that FDR was “an elegant fellow, even as a Democrat” who would not have danced for a crowd. But the President made a point to ensure everyone in attendance that the people at his rallies love when he dances. The crowd at the newly renamed “Trump-Kennedy Center” goes wild.
