Dancing with the Stars couple perform as Trump, Melania
A contestant on Israel's Dancing with the Stars has paid homage to US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump by dressing as the couple while performing to one of the Republican's favourite songs. Taylor Malkov and her dancing partner Haim Pershtein appeared on the dance floor, with Malkov dressed as the First Lady on inauguration day, and Pershtein dressed as a yellow-tied Mr Trump. Malkov, who is an actress and online personality, was born in the USA but moved to Israel when she was a baby with her Israeli father and Israeli born American mother. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW The couple's performance started with the US national anthem playing, before the music transitioned into YMCA by Village People, a song used by Mr Trump at his rallies throughout his run to become President once more. The bizarre tribute to Mr Trump took place around a week ago, however, video of the performance has only just started circulating online. The video was posted online by X account Vivid Prowess. They page said the performers 'killed it' with their high-octane moves. Online, the reaction to performance was overwhelmingly positive, with many saying they 'loved it', while others tagged the US President and First Lady in hope of them seeing the unique tribute. 'It's astonishing what six months of sane strong leadership can do in America. This was unimaginable last year. The Golden Era indeed,' one user wrote. 'America dancing with joy again!' wrote another. It is unclear if the US President has seen the performance yet.

Trump's Nvidia shakedown is unprecedented and scary
US President Donald Trump loves using leverage to force countries to do what he wants, but the new deal in which high-tech chip makers Nvidia and AMD hand the American government 15 per cent of the revenue they generate in China demonstrates his growing willingness to force individual companies into deals. Nvidia, which now has a weighting of 8 per cent in the S&P 500 – a record that eclipses the 7.6 per cent weighting Apple held in 2023 – has for months been lobbying Trump to lift the ban on exports of its H20 chip to China.
