A clip showing U.S. President Donald Trump dancing during his visit to Malaysia for the 47th ASEAN Summit has gone viral, racking up 37.9 million views across social media. Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz revealed that the video—initially shared by Special Assistant to the President and Communications Advisor Margo Martin—has gathered over one million likes and 21.5 million views on Team Trump’s Instagram, as well as 17.1 million views on Facebook and 9.3 million on TikTok.
On X, Bruesewitz hailed Trump as both “the leader of the world and the king of social media.” Martin, who recorded the scene, described it as possibly her favorite moment from eight years of covering Trump, highlighting how he interacted with delegates and joined in a local dance.
Comments on X were largely positive. User @KarlDHarrison commented, “Trump loves people and it shows—they love him back.” Another user, @kellyannelu, noted his vigor and friendliness: “He’s traveling so much but still has the energy to stop and have some fun dancing. This makes me smile.”
Trump arrived in Malaysia on Sunday morning and left Monday at 10:06 a.m. It was his first trip to Malaysia and his first ASEAN Leaders’ Summit since starting his second term in January 2025. He is the third sitting U.S. president to visit Malaysia—following Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 and Barack Obama in 2014 and 2015.
Malaysia is chairing ASEAN this year under the motto “Inclusivity and Sustainability.” The 47th ASEAN Summit and Related Meetings are being held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from October 26 to 28.
📊 Market Context & Insight
Current gold trends in Malaysia are shaped by the performance of the Malaysian Ringgit, Bank Negara Malaysia’s monetary policies, inflation levels, and global gold prices. Domestic demand is also driven by cultural customs, jewelry purchases, and investment interest among Malaysian consumers and businesses.
💡 What This Means for Malaysian Investors
For Malaysian investors, gold remains a preferred hedge against currency volatility, inflation, and global uncertainty. Many diversify their portfolios with physical gold jewelry, gold bars, Gold Investment Accounts (GIAs) offered by local banks like Maybank and CIMB, and Bursa Malaysia’s Gold Futures (FGLD). Aim to balance physical and paper gold to meet your long-term financial objectives.
