Donald Trump Busts A Move In Malaysia

On October 26, upon arriving to Malaysia, the 79-year-old made his way off his plane to the tarmac, where he was greeted by Malaysian officials and a crowd waving flags and performing a dance ahead of the summit.

Video clips of the moment were posted online and have blown up on social media, with many users pointing out that this isn’t just embarrassing—it could be a sign of poor health.
