“Actor Jason Alexander thought he would never see anyone dance as badly as “Seinfeld” character Elaine Benes — until he spotted a video of President Donald Trump busting some moves at a rally in Florida. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine in the popular sitcom, worked “hard to be that awful,” Alexander tweeted Sunday: The President is apparently a fan of @OfficialJLD ‘s famous I can’t dance for shit moves. Julia was working hard to be that awful. I feel like these are his best moves. https://t.co/fNGCnzdahX— jason alexander (@IJasonAlexander) October 18, 2020 Alexander’s character, George Costanza, once described Elaine’s gyrations as a “full-body dry heave set to music.” Louis-Dreyfus then got in on the action, retweeting a Lincoln Project post with side-by-side Donald/Elaine comparisons: First he stole all of Veep. Now he’s stealing from Seinfeld. Melania deserves an Emmy for acting like she’s attracted to THIS. https://t.co/tAeQEK7LPh— Julia Louis-Dreyfus (@OfficialJLD) October 19, 2020 Dance of the bone spurs, captain.And Elaine Benes was who I thought of immediately. 🤣— Biagio (@turbodog08) October 18, 2020 At least Elaine uses her lower body when she dances 😂 pic.twitter.com/2nT8l8byjo— Michael Perlman (@mjperljam) October 18, 2020 Trump supporters on TikTok are starting to do the Trump dance he’s been doing at rallies FYI pic.twitter.com/1UjKlzGuFx— Will Steakin (@wsteaks) October 18, 2020 And from a similarly dance-challenged character in another sitcom: Remember when Chandler couldn’t move his feet when he danced? pic.twitter.com/v5VJTWZw3f— Donna Clark (@PollyEsterTBD) October 18, 2020 Some things don’t change. pic.twitter.com/SYfPcSqaP3— Dankflyer (@dankflyer) October 18, 2020
