KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- A video of United States President Donald Trump dancing during his visit to Malaysia for the 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits has gone viral on social media, attracting 37.9 million views across various platforms.
Trump’s adviser Alex Bruesewitz highlighted the video’s strong traction online, noting its rapid surge in popularity.
“This video that @margomartin captured of President Trump dancing in Malaysia has just surpassed one million likes on our @TeamTrump Instagram and has a whopping 21.5 million views. It also has 17.1 million views on Facebook and 9.3 million on TikTok.
"Trump is the leader of the world and the king of social media,” he said in a post on X today.
Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor Margo Martin, who reposted Bruesewitz’s post, said the clip shows Trump engaging warmly with delegates and joining in a dance to local music.
“Eight years with President Trump, and this may just be my favourite video captured yet,” she wrote.
The video has drawn numerous reactions from users on X, such as user @KarlDHarrison who commented: “The reality is that Trump loves people and it shows. They love him back. It burns the pseudo-intellectuals but it’s true.”
Meanwhile, @kellyannelu described Trump as a genuinely good person, saying the clip reflected his approachable nature.
“He’s travelling so much but still has the energy to stop and have some fun dancing. This makes me smile,” she added.
The US President arrived in Malaysia at around 10 am on Sunday and departed at 10.06 am today, marking the conclusion of his maiden visit to Malaysia and his first participation in an ASEAN Leaders’ Summit since beginning his second presidency in January 2025.
Trump is the third US president in history to visit Malaysia, after Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 and Barack Obama in 2014 and 2015.
Malaysia holds the ASEAN chairmanship this year under the theme “Inclusivity and Sustainability”.
The 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Summits is being held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from Oct 26 to 28.
