President Donald Trump’s signature dance move has found its way back into an NFL end zone.
As Trump was set to arrive at Northwest Stadium for the Washington Commanders’ game against the Detroit Lions, star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown a Jared Goff pass on 3rd and 7 reached the end zone and scored his team’s second touchdown of the game.
St. Brown celebrated by pointing to where the president would sit and performed Trump’s dance, rocking his arms and legs back and forth as his Lions teammates joined in.

This isn’t the first time the “Trump Dance” has gone viral in the NFL, as several players celebrated big plays last season with the move. Trump was seen performing it himself during campaign rallies across the country, and it quickly entered the league.
Trump spent Sunday morning playing golf in Florida before traveling to Washington to attend the game in Landover, Maryland. The game was part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service,” which honors military veterans ahead of Veterans Day on Tuesday.

Trump was expected to sit with Commanders principal owner Josh Harris, who has been working with D.C. officials and the White House to secure approval to build a new stadium on the old RFK Stadium site in Washington. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also seen speaking to Harris before the game.
“I just want to say, was that the greatest flyover ever? Nobody’s ever done a flyover like that,” Trump told reporters before leaving for the stadium.

Trump’s appearance at the Commanders’ home game came a day after a White House insider told the Commanders’ ownership group that Trump wants the new stadium to be named after him, according to ESPN. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Pakinomist Digital that it “would certainly be a beautiful name.”
While not commenting on this report, the commanders welcomed the 47th president to their matchup with the Lions.
“We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country,” Commanders club president Mark Clouse said earlier this week. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active duty service members and their families this Sunday.”
Trump is the first sitting president to attend an NFL regular-season game since 1978, when Jimmy Carter was in office. It’s not Trump’s first time at an NFL game, as he was spotted at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans earlier this year.

Trump has also attended several sporting events over the past year, including the Pittsburgh Steelers’ “Sunday Night Football” game during the campaign trail. He has also been seen at several UFC events, the Daytona 500, the US Open and the Ryder Cup.
With plenty of games left to play, there could be more Trump tributes if the players keep finding the end zone.
