The 'Donald Trump' dance continues to sweep the NFL, with Dolphins defensive tackle Zach Sieler the latest to imitate the president-elect.

Over recent weeks, stars from across sports have been celebrating on the field by shuffling like Trump.

The 78-year-old popularized the moves during the recent presidential election campaign, before he sealed a return to the White House.

Brock Bowers, Calvin Ridley and Nick Bosa were among the first athletes to imitate Trump and, on Sunday, Sieler joined the craze.

The defensive tackle pulled out the 'Trump dance' during Miami's 34-15 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Sieler was soon flanked by teammates Calais Campbell and Emmanuel Ogbah, who joined in the dance on the field.

USMNT star Christian Pulisic is among the athletes who have imitated the president-elect

The NFL recently confirmed it has 'no issue' with the celebration. 'It’s up to the networks to cover them as they see fit,' a spokesperson said.

UFC champion Jon Jones, golfer Charley Hull and USMNT star Christian Pulisic also performed the dance in recent weeks.

Pulisic insisted it was not a political statement, claiming: 'It was just for fun. I saw a bunch of people do it and thought it was funny so I enjoyed it. I hope some people did.'

That prompted a strong reaction from DailyMail.com columnist Tim Howard, who sent a message to Pulisic and other actors doing the dance.

'If you're going to make a political statement then be bold and brash enough to stand behind it. Don’t go quiet and don’t plead innocence like Christian Pulisic,' Howard said.

'Any show of support for Donald Trump is political... you cannot have it both ways. You're on one side of this or the other. If you are bold enough to publicly make a statement, I don’t have a problem with that. But own it.'
