After the game, Pulisic explained his reasoning for doing the dance and insisted it was not “political.”
“Well, obviously, that’s the Trump dance,” Pulisic said when asked whether he intentionally did the dance. “It was just a dance that everyone’s doing. He’s the one who created it. I just thought it was funny.
“I saw everyone doing it yesterday in the NFL. I saw Jon Jones do it. We’re just having a bit of fun, so I thought it was a pretty fun dance.
Pulisic continued, “No, not at all. It’s not a political dance. It was just for fun. I saw a bunch of people do it and I thought it was funny, so I enjoyed it. I hope some people did, at least.”
The question of whether the dance is political is probably inevitable, though it is bizarre. Nothing about the dance supports an agenda unless the agenda is having fun.
