Trump adopts Village People's ‘Y.M.C.A.’ as personal anthem

Trump posted on social media about the Village People’s hit “Y.M.C.A.”. He claimed that lead singer Victor Willis had been with him “right from the beginning.” The comment linked the song to his personal image. The president has presented “Y.M.C.A.” as his anthem. Yet his history with the Village People is more complicated. The specifics of that complicated history were not detailed. The contrast between his claim and the group’s background is evident. The issue remains a point of discussion in political circles.
