Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown apologized for his touchdown dance against the Washington Commanders on Sunday, November 9, which appeared to mimic President Donald Trump's signature dance move. "First of all, if I offended anyone, I do apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone. It was just, we're having fun," St. Brown said on his "St. Brown Podcast" on Wednesday, November 12. Trump, 79, was at the game, a 44-22 Lions win, making him the first sitting president since Jimmy Carter in 1978 to attend a regular season NFL game. "If any president was at that game and had a dance I would have done it," added St. Brown, 26. "It had nothing to do with who the president was."

After diving into the end zone, he pointed to the stands and broke into the shuffle that Trump often displayed at his rallies on the campaign trail.

The three-time Pro Bowler is not the first NFL player to break out the celebratory shuffle. In 2024, San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa did it after a critical sack in the fourth quarter of a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bosa, 28, is an outspoken Trump supporter and was fined just two weeks earlier for crashing an NBC on-field interview with teammate Brock Purdy by wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and pointing to the slogan.

After Bosa's celebration in 2024, Trump took to Truth Social to write, "NICK BOSA IS A GREAT PLAYER!" For St. Brown, the President reposted the video of his touchdown via Truth Social on Tuesday, November 11. It included a caption that dubbed the wide receiver "Amon-Ra St. Trump." While taking in the game, Trump also joined the Fox broadcast booth where he spoke to Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma about the NFL and his own high school football career. The broadcast showed a photo of Trump as a tight end for New York Military Academy, which he attended from 1959 to 1964. Vilma, 43, asked how many touchdowns Trump had in his career, to which the President replied, "I'm not sure I had any." "We had a quarterback who didn't have a very strong arm," he added. "I would say 10 yards was our long pass." Trump also talked about his own sports fandom. As a New York native, he grew up rooting for the Jets and Giants, but as Commander-in-Chief, he has had the chance to branch out more, attending the Army-Navy football game, Daytona 500, Super Bowl and more. "It's a microcosm of life," he said. "It's sort of like life, you know? The good, the bad and the ugly, right?" Trump added, "You can equate sports with life. You have the triumph and you have the problems. You gotta get through the problems to hit the triumphs. You can never quit, you can never give up."
