Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump busted out his dance moves during a campaign rally Sunday night when a man broke out in song and asked him and Dr. Ben Carson to clap and sway along.

“So Donald, Donald stand by me,” the man crooned in a cover of “Stand By Me” during a rally at Trump’s Florida property, the Mar-a-Lago resort.

Trump moved his torso in a slight bop and clapped for the performance. Carson, who endorsed the real estate mogul, stood in the background and clapped along, too.

Watch below. The fun starts around the one-minute mark:

  1. I cringe when I see people dance badly so I won’t watch.

    Is it as bad as I might think?

  2. Carson was firm…no slo dancing, Donald.

  3. I was hesitant to click “Play” for exactly the same reason, but I figured I’d take the hit for you. Not as awful as it could have been - they’re mostly just moving a bit in time to the music.

    But I think Ben E. King is going to rise from his grave and come back to kill the singer.
