Trump Spotted Dancing To ‘YMCA’ At Yankees Game As Social Media Mocks His ‘Devastation’ Over Charlie Kirk’s Death

No respect at all

Donald Trump said he was shaken by the death of Charlie Kirk. Just hours later, he was at a Yankees game in New York, singing and moving to “YMCA.”

Cameras caught him on Thursday night dressed in his usual suit and red tie. He sat beside Yankees president Randy Levine, talking and smiling. When the song came on, Trump lifted his arms, mouthed the words, and swayed in his seat as the crowd cheered.

The dance came on the very same day Kirk was killed at Utah Valley University. The conservative activist had been answering questions about gun violence when a single shot hit him in the neck. He fell on stage as students screamed and rushed out in panic. Doctors at a nearby hospital tried to save him, but he later died.

Before the Yankees game began, the stadium paused to honor Kirk. Fans stood in silence as his image filled the big screen. Trump joined the tribute, standing quietly during the moment of respect.

But later, his dance became the center of attention. Clips of him singing and swaying spread fast across social media. Many users mocked him, saying he looked “clearly devastated” and calling the display embarrassing.

The timing was also striking. Thursday marked the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. On that day in 2001, Trump famously bragged his building was now the tallest in Lower Manhattan.

Trump had posted earlier on Truth Social, calling Kirk “the great, even legendary.” He praised Kirk for connecting with young people and said his loss was “unbelievable.” But the tribute was quickly overshadowed by his ballpark behavior.

Reporters asked him before the game if he was worried about his own safety after the shooting. Trump brushed it off. “Not really,” he said. He claimed investigators were making “big progress” in finding answers but gave no details. When pressed on the shooter’s motive, he teased, “I have an indication, yeah, but we’ll let you know about that later.”
