Donald Trump’s pre-inauguration rally on Sunday night in Washington, D.C., wasn’t your average political event—it was more like the wildest dance party of the year. Packed with disco beats, celebrity guests, and Trump’s trademark fist-pumping dance moves, the event turned the Capital One Arena into a patriotic celebration that fans won’t forget anytime soon.
Trump Dances with the Village People
The night’s biggest surprise came when the Village People joined Trump on stage, belting out their 70s classic YMCA—a rally anthem that’s been a Trump favorite for years. The crowd of thousands erupted as Trump swayed to the music, fist-pumped, and even sang along.
This is the wildest end to a political rally I’ve ever seen.

“I love these guys,” Trump said with a grin, shaking hands with the band. “Even if they tried to stop me from using their music—hey, we’re good now!”
The group had famously sent Trump a cease-and-desist letter in 2023 for playing Macho Man at one of his events, but all seemed forgiven as they danced and performed together.
A Celebrity-Filled Extravaganza
The rally wasn’t just about disco vibes—it was packed with a lineup of stars that felt more like a music festival than a political event.
- Kid Rock got the crowd rocking with his hits We the People and All Summer Long, shouting, “Is MAGA in the house?” to roaring applause.
- Billy Ray Cyrus brought the country charm, performing Achy Breaky Heart and flashing his signature thumbs-up for Trump.
- Lee Greenwood, whose God Bless the USA is a staple at Trump events, delivered a heartfelt performance that had the crowd waving flags.
Even Hulk Hogan, the WWE legend, got a shoutout from Trump. “Hulk Hogan is here! Some people are hard to spot in a crowd, but not the Hulk,” Trump joked as the wrestling icon flexed for the cheering audience.
Big Promises and Bold Moves
It wasn’t just about music and celebrities. Billionaire Elon Musk, now working with Trump to streamline the government, took the stage to talk about the future. “We’re going to make big changes and great things happen,” Musk declared, promising a more efficient government that will “make America strong for centuries.”
Actor Jon Voight, another vocal Trump supporter, gave an emotional speech calling Trump “our hero” and hailing his election win as “the greatest victory of all time.”

Megyn Kelly also spoke, reminding the crowd of the importance of free speech and the right to challenge the status quo.
Trump Knows How to Party
As the night went on, Trump descended the arena stairs like a rockstar, stopping to pump his fist and pose for pictures with fans. Rain and snow outside didn’t dampen the energy inside the packed venue.
