When United States Men’s National Team star Christian Pulisic scored the opening goal against Jamaica on Monday night, he became the latest professional athlete to celebrate with the signature “Donald Trump dance.” Notoriously left-wing soccer fans are not happy.

“Well, obviously, that鈥檚 the Trump dance,” Pulisic after the match. “It was just a dance that everyone鈥檚 doing. He鈥檚 the one who created it. I just thought it was funny.”

Pulisic said he was inspired by “everyone doing it yesterday in the NFL, I saw Jon Jones do it. We鈥檙e just having a bit of fun, so I thought it was a pretty fun dance.”

But not everyone thought it was funny. Many soccer fans, still licking their wounds from losing the White House and Senate, were triggered and livid.

Insufferable soccer fans were not happy with Christian Pulisic celebrating goal with the Donald Trump dance

Pulisic wasn’t being political with the Donald Trump dance. He just thought it was “funny, so I enjoyed it.” Nevertheless, insufferable progressives weren’t having it. A chorus of X users with personal pronouns in their bios posted their angry takes.

Eric Wahl, a marketing and communications manager for United Soccer Coaches, Pulisic isn’t “the brightest bulb in the chandelier.” He complained that the USMNT star “just alienated a lot of soccer fans.”

City of Seattle Nightlife Business Advocate Scott Plusquellec that Pulisic isn’t welcome in Seattle because “he’s a MAGA player.”

“I don鈥檛 think a player that celebrates by doing the Trump dance is gonna be super welcome in Seattle,” he said.

Jane Gershovich, a professional photographer who has covered the Seattle Sounders for over ten seasons, had a particularly unhinged take.

“Pulisic having the nonchalant gall to do that dance on national television for the national team just shows how blind white men are to their privilege and this damn country’s ideocracy. You can’t celebrate a dance of a rapist, unless you support him,” she .

Gershovich went on to say Pulisic isn’t a great American and compared the Trump dance to a “Nazi salute.”

Pulisic celebration actually means something

Christian Pulisic celebrating a goal with the Donald Trump dance actually is meaningful, even if he didn’t intend it to be.

For the last eight years, left-wing bullies have tried to shame Trump supporters into silence. Their strategy? Intimidate, ostracize and cancel anyone who dared to express support for Donald Trump. They wanted us to keep our opinions to ourselves, fearful of the woke mob鈥檚 wrath. But here鈥檚 the irony: their heavy-handed tactics didn鈥檛 weaken support 鈥 it strengthened it.

Rather than shrinking in the face of incessant scolding and condescension, millions of Americans have doubled down.

The progressive elite’s sneering insistence that they were morally superior backfired spectacularly. Instead of turning people away from Trump, it built a movement rooted in shared resentment of the smug, self-appointed gatekeepers of acceptable political discourse. Trump-inspired defiance. That鈥檚 how he won the Electoral College in a landslide 鈥 and yes, millions more votes in 2020, even if the Radical Left refuses to acknowledge it.

This backlash isn鈥檛 just about Trump; it鈥檚 about reclaiming space in the public square. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e seeing Trump support become a cultural force and movement, out in the open and unapologetic. Whether or not Pulisic intended it, the message was clear: Trump support isn鈥檛 just political 鈥 it鈥檚 patriotic. Americans are embracing the candidate who doesn鈥檛 apologize for loving this country. The haters will take a knee, while the rest of us will do a little Trump dance.
