A video recorded during a visit by Donald Trump at the Economic Club of Detroit went viral on social media after showing the president dancing.
The clip shows Trump moving, as he typically does at public events. He often performs this sort of "victory dance" with his fists clenched.
The video was widely shared, and the networks of the White House showcase this: it has tens of thousands of "likes."
The background music is the iconic "Y.M.C.A.", one of the most popular songs in disco music, released in 1978 by the American group Village People as part of their album Cruisin.
The lyrics celebrate the Young Men's Christian Association as a place where young people can find affordable lodging and recreational activities. Although the organization initially had reservations, the song became an anthem of pop culture and the LGBTQ+ community.
At that same event in Detroit, Trump announced this Wednesday that his administration will revoke citizenship from any naturalized immigrant, including those from Somalia, who is convicted of defrauding American citizens.
"We will also revoke the citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia, or anywhere else, who is convicted of defrauding our citizens. We will remove them first, and if you come to the United States to steal from Americans, we will put you in jail and send you back to where you came from," the president declared during a speech at the Economic Club of Detroit.
The announcement reinforces the immigration policy of "zero tolerance" advocated by the White House, which aims to punish immigration fraud and crimes committed by naturalized individuals more severely.
In Trump's view, "citizenship is a privilege, not a right," and those who violate the laws "will lose that privilege."
The president's speech coincides with the tightening of the denaturalization processes implemented since December, when the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) ordered a massive review of cases and the temporary suspension of asylum, residency, and naturalization applications for citizens of 19 countries deemed high risk, including Cuba, Venezuela, Somalia, and Haiti.
