On January 19, Trump held a “victory rally” in Washington, DC, where he danced onstage along with cult 70s band the Village People to their smash hit “YMCA.” The song became an anthem on the campaign trail with celebrities and the public doing their own versions of the “Trump dance” to show support.

It wouldn’t be an American event if there weren’t at least some protests. Prior to Inauguration Day, thousands gathered in the nation’s capital to signal their displeasure with the soon-to-be president.
