In an extremely sweet and wholesome moment from the Trump family on the night of Monday, January 20, Inauguration Day for President Trump, a scene involving the cutting of the cake at the Commander-in-Chief’s Inauguration Ball in Washington, D.C. turned into absolute sweetness and hilarity as the President and First Lady did the classic “Trump Dance” together.
As background, that sweet moment came alongside the awesome moment when Donald and Melania Trump entered the facility and received rapturous applause from the crowd before their first dance together, which really showed off Melania’s grace, elegance, and beauty. It was during that event that Melania briefly did the “Trump dance,” breaking out her own moves as her husband danced with a sword. Predictably, the internet absolutely loved it.
The moment where Melania broke out her own dance moves came when President Donald Trump cut the cake with a saber and started dancing with it, a moment that would have been entirely iconic in and of itself. But Melania, as could be expected given her wonderfulness, made it all the better by breaking out her own Trump Dance moves alongside him while he danced with the saber.
Commenting on the sweet moment in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that featured a video of Melania and Trump doing the dance together, something I missed originally when watching and writing about the cake-cutting dance moment, an account called “Flappr” noted that Melania managed to look feminine while doing the wholesome dance in an “under appreciated” part of the video.
Making that point, Flappr said, as a caption of a clip of the sweet incident showing Trump dancing with the saber in a hilarious version of the Trump dance as Melania danced along to his left, “Under appreciated part of the sword video – he got Melania to do her own little version of the Trump dance. Very feminine. Very wholesome.”
Commenters on Flappr’s post about the dance largely agreed and joined in praising Melania for the very sweet moment, her stunning beauty during it, and her overall role as First Lady. Doing so in the comments section, they said things like “She’s having fun! Beautiful smile and an iconic First Lady!” and “Cute.” Watch Melania here:

Other commenters on Flappr’s post made some very funny observations as well. One, for example, commented on the armed forces member behind Melania and to her right, who was holding a saber similar to Trump’s, receiving it as the two danced. Commenting on that, one person said, “Lol it looks like the guy behind her wanted to hand her his sword too lol.”
Another noted, speaking of Melania’s serious demeanor during the Inauguration events, such as when she wore a boater hat pulled low over her face and eyes, making her look quite threatening, that she’s looking forward to revenge. That commenter said, “She’s just thinking about the revenge she is going to get for the panty raid and trying to kill her husband.”
