Donald Trumpsays he’s having a “good time” making dance floors — yes, dance floors — great again.
Trumpspoke with the podcasters and YouTube creatorslast week at his private resort,Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, where he’s lived with wifeMelania Trumpand their son,Barron, since he was voted out of the White House.
Trump hasheld fundraisersand met with Republican candidates at the property to determine whether or not he will lend his support to their campaigns as he continues to gauge a possible comeback of his own.
Asked on the podcast about the songs that get played at Mar-a-Lago events, Trump said he was more of a curator than a DJ.
“Do you actually spin?” host Kyle Forgeard asked him.
“I don’t spin but I pick. I pick the ones I like,” Trump, 75, said. “I don’t want to spin. I want to pick the ones I like.”
The former president — whose campaign events and rallies had a distinctive soundtrack of their own, despite complaints from some artists — said he’s a fan of Broadway tunes like the “beautiful” songs from musicalsThe Phantom of the OperaandLes Misérables.
But, he added, those don’t typically pack the dance floors at Mar-a-Lago.

“You know what gets them rocking? ‘Y.M.C.A.,’ " Trump said, referring the Village People’s 1978 disco classic that was often played — white theformer president danced— at his events during his 2020 reelection campaign.
The song evenplayed in the final moments of Trump’s presidencyon Jan. 21, 2021, as he and the former first lady boarded Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews and left Washington, D.C.
During the interview, Trump addressed more serious topics, including the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and his false claims of voter fraud in the last election, which he lost toJoe Biden.
The podcast said on Twitter the episode wasremoved from YouTubefor violating the platform’s policy on misinformation.
