Seinfeld's Jason Alexander Mocks Trump For Dancing Worse Than Elaine Benes

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 on 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

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

Dance of the bone spurs, captain.
And Elaine Benes was who I thought of immediately. 🤣
