Man Raises Over $10,000 To Tap Dance At Midnight To Annoy His Trump-Loving Downstairs Neighbor

Man Raises Over $10,000 To Tap Dance At Midnight To Annoy His Trump-Loving Downstairs Neighbor

We live in a world where many people wear their political opinions on their sleeves. Hop on social media and you can often pick out the important political views someone has.

Sometimes being so open with your political views can ward off those who don't agree with you, or be inviting to those who do.


Sometimes you're practically telling people to prank you.

If you've visited downtown Cleveland recently, you might have seen this sign.

That sign was put up by the upstairs tenant named Jett Croisant. Croisant's downstairs neighbor has a "Trump 2020" sign, along with a strange edited photo of Donald Trump as Rambo.

Seeing this, Croisant thought he'd have a laugh and placed his own sign in his window directly above his neighbor's.

His sign says,

"VENMO @JET513 AND I WILL TAPDANCE AT MIDNIGHT"

And another, smaller sign that says,

"BIDEN 2020"

It was a funny little joke, that he wasn't expecting to go anywhere, but people online seemed to really enjoy it.

They seemed to really enjoy it. A lot.




As Croisant explained to Buzzfeed News, he "expected to get $3" for the joke from a few people. However, when the sign was shared online, it took off.

The fact that there are still people willing to be very vocal about their support of the current president probably helped share it further.

Croisant started getting a lot of money sent to his Venmo account. When it was shared by a Twitter user named "Mike", it took off further, getting hundreds of thousands of likes and tens of thousands retweets.

Over the course of a few days, Croisant received thousands of dollars.

"Every two to three seconds, I was getting Venmo'd money. It didn't slow down until Friday."

"Today it's picked up again, and donations are starting to get bigger. The biggest donation I've gotten is $50 a couple of times."

And so, he decided to donate the funds to the ACLU.




This become a massive event, so Croisant has said he'll be providing receipts of the donation to ensure everything is above board.

But the dance is important too, with someone even offering to send Croisant some tap shoes for the eventual dance. Since so many have gotten to invested in this situation, he's offered to film the tap dance, so everyone can feel they got their money's worth.

Which, seems pretty legit.

But some feel this might be a bit much for someone that Croisant has never even met.



Since the spread of the sign some accounts, both intentional and accidental, have received donations meant for Croisant. If you're thinking of donating yourself, make sure it's @JET513.

While Croisant is a little annoyed with his neighbor's sign, he doesn't have any malice for them.

"I just want to annoy them a little bit 'cause they've been annoying me with their sign in their window."

Hopefully his downstairs neighbor has the same sense of humor at being annoyed.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
