Ammon News - As if his humiliation was not complete, Nicolás Maduro is facing a new charge: copying Donald Trump’s dance moves.

The US president on Tuesday accused the ousted Venezuelan leader, who faces terrorism and drug trafficking charges, of imitating Trump’s signature hip-swaying and stiff arm-waving.

“He gets up there and he tries to imitate my dance a little bit,” Trump told a gathering of congressional Republicans in Washington.

The jibe appeared to reference a report that Maduro’s regular public dancing – he appeared on stage to a techno remix of his mantra “No War, Yes Peace” – and other displays of nonchalance in recent weeks contributed to the White House’s decision to abduct him.

The late Hugo Chávez, Maduro’s mentor and role model, frequently danced at rallies, but Trump’s team felt Maduro was mocking a buildup of US military force and demands for him to step down, according to the New York Times.

US forces seized Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, in a raid on Saturday that left dozens dead and stunned Venezuela’s government but left it in place.

Trump’s comments appeared designed to add to Maduro’s humiliation a day after his arraignment hearing at a federal court in Manhattan.
