He thinks it's not presidential, he said, but it didn't stop him from leading the polls by 20 points or so. The song did hit number one on Billboard's dance electronic digital sales chart late last year, spending a fifth week there. It's best run for a group. That year. Back in 1979, it peaked at number two on the Hot 100. Trump's been grooving to YMCA since his 2020 re-election bid, closing over 110 rallies with it in 2024. It even played as he left the White House in January 2021, and the Village People showed
