At a recent Trump rally in Beverly Hills, California, video of a group of dancers went viral on Twitter thanks to its shocking level of awkwardness.
In the video, the group of Trump supporters danced along to a parody of The Village People's "Y.M.C.A." with new lyrics that substitute in the President's well-known acronym "M.A.G.A." (Make America Great Again).

Many online pointed out the irony that the President's supporters were dancing to a song which because popular in the LGBTQ community of the 80's.

It's not hard to imagine how the Village People would feel about President Trump's supporters using their song.
