Ivanka Trump has been criticised for encouraging her husband to dance to the YMCA.
Jared Kushner was spotted clapping along to The Village People song at a Trump rally in Wisconsin.

He was gently reproached by Trump, who described his lack of dance moves as a "party foul".

But, as people were quick to point out, nobody should really be partying or dancing in huge crowds during a pandemic. And particularly not in the presence of the very person whose job it is to try to mitigate that pandemic's effects.
@IvankaTrump Yeah, 225,000 dead Americans on your watch is just like a big party.— Janet Johnson (@Janet Johnson) 1603062376
@IvankaTrump Yes...I can’t believe he wasn’t celebrating over 200,000 Americans who are dead. Could you be any more tone deaf?— RealHousewifeOfMichigan (@RealHousewifeOfMichigan) 1603042488
Recently, Trump has blasted 'Y.M.C.A.' and 'Macho Man' all around his campaign trail.
Since recovering from coronavirus, he has celebrated his "immunity" with cringe-worthy Dad dancing. (It doesn't seem to matter to Trump that it is possible to catch coronavirus more than once.)

Ivanka also joined in on this admitting that she 'loves it' despite not realising that some of these memes are mocking the president.
Love it! https://t.co/taww2dUgqD— Ivanka Trump (@Ivanka Trump) 1603074264
Nobody has any idea why.
.@realDonaldTrump shimmying to a gay anthem is irony at its finest. https://t.co/qYxSB9CcGH— Julia Reiss (@Julia Reiss) 1602585512
It will never not be surreal that Trump's walk-off music is YMCA.— Briahna Joy Gray (@Briahna Joy Gray) 1602547335
But The Village People have tried to put a stop to it, with frontman Victor Willis calling on the president to retire their songs.
Whatever Trump's reasoning, it's pretty offensive that he appropriated an iconic LGBTQ+ anthem and danced along to it as more Americans die from coronavirus.
That's not behaviour Ivanka Trump, or anyone else should be encouraging.
