US Prez Trump Dances Holding Sword At Inaugural Ball — WATCH

The 47th US President, Donald Trump decided to dance holding a sword during the Commander-in-Chief ball.

US Secret Services were sweating bullets when they saw the newly sworn-in President Donald Trump dancing while holding a sword. During the cake-cutting ceremony at the Commander-in-Chief ball, Trump was handed a sword for the cake but the 47th President decided to dance to Village People’s “Y.M.C.A”.

In the background were First Lady Melania Trump who was swaying to the music, she was standing next to Vice President JD Vance and his wife, Usha Vance.

During Trump’s dance, Vice President Vance joked that the Secret Services was getting “very nervous”. President Trump and the First Lady were received with thunderous applause, as per the Associated Press (AP).

While the President wore a tuxedo, the First Lady donned a white sleeveless gown featuring a black zig-zag pattern at the top, with black detailing flowing downward. She complemented her ensemble with a thick black choker necklace, adorned with a floral-shaped silver jewel. The Trumps began the evening at the Commander in Chief Ball, dancing to Elvis Presley's "American Trilogy."

This comes as Trump signed an order which issued pardons for people charged with participating in the January 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol. Trump said he was pardoning about 1,500 defendants and issuing six commutations. The pardons fulfil Trump’s promise to release supporters who tried to help him overturn his election defeat four years ago.

“These are the hostages,” he said while signing the paperwork in the Oval Office, according to the Associated Press.

He also signed an executive order directing government agencies not to infringe on the free speech of Americans. “In America, we believe in free speech and we're bringing it back starting today to stop the weaponisation,” Trump said before signing the executive order at the Capitol One Arena here.

The executive order is to immediately end the federal government's censorship of the American people, he said.
