Trump Surprises "America's Got Talent" Stage With Unexpected Performance, Leaving Judges and Audiences in Awe

In an unexpected twist that left both fans and judges reeling, Donald Trump took the stage on America's Got Talent (AGT) Tuesday night, showing off a surprising and energetic performance that had everyone in the audience on their feet. But this wasn’t the real Trump — it was the uncanny Singing Trump, portrayed by Jeff Tracta, a multi-talented performer known for his impressions and comedic roles.

Jeff Tracta, 56, from Palm Springs, stunned the judges with his energetic dance moves and a mash-up of two classic Backstreet Boys hits: “I Want It That Way” and “Everybody.” What made the performance even more memorable was his larger-than-life portrayal of the former U.S. President. As Trump, Tracta gyrated across the stage, proving that he could belt out songs just as fiercely as he could run for office.

The performance was unlike anything AGT viewers had seen before. The charismatic act captured the attention of the judges, especially Simon Cowell, who couldn’t contain his excitement, exclaiming, “Oh. My. Gooooood! I love this show.”

The energy in the room was palpable as the audience erupted into applause, with many fans even singing along, making it a night to remember.

Jeff Tracta’s identity as the Singing Trump is known only to a few. Despite his remarkable performance on AGT, he has managed to keep his true identity under wraps. He introduced himself on the audition stage as Donald J. Trump from Washington, D.C., and has remained in character ever since.

While his friends and fans in Palm Springs are aware of his real name, Tracta prefers to maintain his anonymity, delighting in the mystery of his portrayal.

Tracta is no stranger to the stage, having established himself as an acclaimed singer, actor, and comedian over the years. He is best known for playing Thorne Forrester on the popular soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful from 1989 to 1996.

His vocal talents extend beyond television as he’s also performed on Broadway as Danny Zuko in Grease. In 2008, he headlined a one-man show in both Las Vegas and Palm Springs at the Spa Resort Casino, further solidifying his versatile performance skills.

Despite the overwhelming praise Tracta received for his impressive performance, his journey to America’s Got Talent live rounds wasn’t always smooth. When he first walked onto the stage during his audition, not all of the judges were immediately on board with his act.

Mel B wasted no time in pressing the red button to eliminate him, and the audience responded with loud boos. However, Tracta's determination to “make America’s Got Talent great again” soon won over the crowd, as well as most of the judges.

It was during the “Judge Cuts” segment that Heidi Klum made a compelling point that resonated with many. She said, “It doesn’t matter if you like the real Trump or not, because it comes down to talent, and The Singing Trump has it.”

This was the turning point for Tracta, as he demonstrated not only his comedic timing but also his musical ability, earning his place in the live rounds of the competition.

As Tracta moves forward in the competition, it’s clear that his unique portrayal of the former president is resonating with both fans and judges alike. His ability to seamlessly blend humor, music, and dance has proven to be a winning formula.

Whether or not he can go all the way to the America's Got Talent finals remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure — the Singing Trump has made an indelible mark on the stage.

For fans of Tracta’s work, it’s more than just a comedic impersonation. It’s a chance to witness a performer who’s mastered the art of keeping an audience engaged, regardless of the character he’s playing.

And with his strong vocal performance and undeniable stage presence, it looks like the Singing Trump will be sticking around for a while longer. Keep an eye on AGT — this act is far from over.
