At the end of a keynote address to Republicans in Palm Beach County, Florida; two-time Emmy nominated musician, Beau Davidson paid tribute to Donald Trump with a cover of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me.
The lyrics were tweaked for the occasion: “So Donald, Donald, stand by us, and we'll stand by you.'
“It don't matter where we go. It don't matter what Hillary does, as long as we're with you. Stand by me.”
The frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination was joined on stage by former candidate Ben Carson and the two awkwardly bopped on stage during the performance.
It is not the first time Mr Trump has danced during his presidential campaign; last year, he parodied Drake’s Hotline Bling on Saturday Night Live.
