Christian Pulisic sends cryptic message after former Chelsea ace did Donald Trump dance

Christian Pulisic has become a controversial figure in recent days, and it all stemmed from the former Chelsea attacker using Donald Trump's dance moves in celebration of a goal for the US Men's National Team.

The 26-year-old spent four years with Chelsea, winning the Champions League in that period, though he never truly became the influential player expected of somebody attached to the biggest fee ever paid for a North American.

Since last year he has moved on to AC Milan to rediscover the stardom 'Captain America' holds within the USMNT.

In 76 international appearances he has 33 goals, the latest of which has been divisive for the manner in which he celebrated. Running over the corner flag, he stopped dead in his tracks and switched to a double fist-pump dance associated with President-elect Trump during his recent election campaign.

As the man due to come into power is a divisive topic himself, there has been some amount of backlash online. But in his first post since that meeting with Jamaica, alongside a collection of recent photographs Pulisic wrote: "I have all that I need."

Speaking post-match, the goalscorer had clarified: "Well obviously that’s the Trump dance. It was just a dance that everyone’s doing. He’s the one who created it. I just thought it was funny.

"I saw everyone doing it yesterday in the NFL, I saw Jon Jones do it. We’re just having a bit of fun, so I thought it was a pretty fun dance."

Pressed further on the political message behind it, he responded: "No, not at all. It’s not a political dance. It was just for fun.

"I saw a bunch of people do it and I thought it was funny, so I enjoyed it. I hope some people did at least."

The USMNT - now managed by former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino - will be one of the host nations for the next FIFA World Cup in 2026.
