President Donald Trump’s iconic dance move has made a return to an NFL end zone.
As Trump was about to arrive at Northwest Stadium for the Washington Commanders’ game against the Detroit Lions, star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a pass from Jared Goff on 3rd and 7, crossed into the end zone and scored his team’s second touchdown of the game.
St. Brown celebrated by pointing to where the president would be sitting and performed the Trump dance, swinging 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 playing it himself at campaign rallies across the country, and it quickly caught on in the league.
Trump spent Sunday morning golfing in Florida before traveling to Washington to watch the match 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 scheduled to sit down with Commander principal owner Josh Harris, who worked with Washington D.C. officials and the White House to gain approval to build a new stadium on the former site of RFK Stadium in Washington. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also seen chatting with 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 intermediary told the Commanders’ ownership group that Trump wanted the new stadium to be named after him, according to ESPN. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to PK Press Club Digital that it would “surely be a great name.”
Without commenting on this report, the Commanders welcomed the 47th President during their game against the Lions.
“We are honored to welcome President Trump to this 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 Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active duty military members and their families this Sunday.”
Trump is the first sitting president to attend a regular-season NFL game since 1978, when Jimmy Carter was in office. This isn’t the first time Trump has attended 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 on the campaign trail. He has also been spotted at several UFC events, the Daytona 500, the US Open and the Ryder Cup.
With a lot of game to play, there could be more tributes to Trump if players continue to find the end zone.
