Israel’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ took an unexpected turn this week when two of its dancers delivered a routine paying tribute to Donald and Melania Trump.

Viewers of ‘Rokdim Im Kokhavim’, the Israeli version of the hit competitive dance show, were left stunned by the performance by two professionals who dressed as none other than the president and the first lady.

The routine went viral on social media, with viewers applauding its uncanny accuracy – from the performers’ mannerisms to their exaggerated, Trump-style flair. 

Dancers Taylor Malkov and Haim Pershtein kicked off the routine on a stage seemingly styled to resemble a flashy Fourth of July celebration, complete with massive American flags dangling from the ceiling.

As red, white, and blue fireworks lit up the backdrop with star-shaped projections, the dancers stood on a red carpet behind a podium – dressed in spot-on replicas of what the president and first lady wore to this year’s inauguration. 

The lookalikes stood solemnly, placing their right hands over their hearts as the National Anthem played.

With pursed lips, the faux president leaned in for a kiss – only to be hilariously brushed aside as the Melania impersonator, true to form, coldly waved him off.

The Melania double then adjusted her partner’s tie, just moments before the tone of the performance took a dramatic turn.

The music suddenly switched to the iconic ‘YMCA’ by the Village People, just as the duo hurried down the few steps to the dance floor. 

The makeshift Melania ripped off her hat and tossed it aside, just as her fake husband caught up, helping to shed her navy blue dress to reveal a sparkling American flag leotard complete with a patriotic tutu. 

As she struck a pose to showcase her outfit change, the Trump dancer launched into his own take on the president’s signature move – energetically pumping his fists one at a time to the side while swaying his hips along to the beat.

They then unleashed into a full-on dance routine, executing sharp choreography that the president himself would be hard-pressed to replicate.

Despite the polished professionalism of their routine, the Trump character made sure to include abrupt gestures and bold facial expressions that captured real Trump’s unmistakable quirks. 

Ahead of the show’s live airing, the dance partners teased fans with a sneak peek of their costumes on Instagram, as Taylor Malkov shared several photos of the duo striking poses together.

Each pose mirrored now-viral images of the real White House occupants, including the iconic inauguration day moment when Melania famously dodged her husband’s smooch. 

‘So after so many comparisons about the similarity between my father and Trump, and as a US citizen, we knew exactly what iconic characters we were making for tonight’s special,’ Malkov wrote in the translated caption.

‘We prepared a fun and funny number for you,’ she added. ‘Just seeing life as Trump is pissing. We love you in levels and are waiting for you on the floor.’

Clips of the light-hearted routine quickly spread across social media, racking up millions of views and sparking a wave of reactions online. 

‘Well you know President Trump is popular if someone is imitating him!!! That was awesome!’ one comment read.

Another wrote: ‘This is so silly and fun, and with all that’s going in in the world, I really appreciate this smile.’

‘Dance with the Stars TV show featured one of the pairs dressed as President Trump and Melania Trump, and they absolutely killed it. This is a must-watch, said a third.
