President Trump, faced with low poll numbers, a likely impeachment in the House, and questions about his decision to abandon the Kurds, is still trying to influence votes on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
Trump tweeted that viewers should vote for former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
Trump called Spicer a “good guy” and wrote “he has always been there for us!”
Vote for good guy @seanspicer tonight on Dancing With The Stars. He has always been there for us!

That’s without watching Spicer dance.
This is a dance show, right?
Not a referendum on the Trump presidency?
Spicer tweeted his thanks with instructions on how viewers can cast votes.
Thank you @POTUS @realDonaldTrump Appreciate all the votes on @DancingABC tonight. Only votes between 8-10pm ET count. Everyone has 20 votes. Text SEAN 10 times to 21523 and vote 10 more at https://t.co/in3iBKszaD #teamsweetnspicey #DWTS #dwts28 https://t.co/DbbuRFTkJd

Spicer, 48, is currently competing on the 28th season of the ABC reality dancing competition series and is one of nine remaining contestants.
Supremes singer Mary Wilson and former NBA forward Lamar Odom have been eliminated in recent weeks, while ex-NFL linebacker Ray Lewis withdrew late last month due to injury.
Spicer’s inclusion on the show was the subject of controversy when the latest season’s cast was announced, with host Tom Bergeron tweeting he had hoped to do a show that served as “a joyful respite from our exhausting political climate.”
The former press secretary resigned from his White House gig in July 2017 following six tumultuous months working under the Trump administration.
Spicer is paired with professional dancer Lindsay Arnold as they compete for the mirror ball trophy.
Monday night they performed during Disney night and despite another crazy costume and awful performance, the judges gushed over their controversial contestant.
Sean Spicer is all about politics, not dancing on Dancing with the Stars.
Last week, former DWTS champ Adam Rippon ripped the shows producers for casting the controversial former Trump mouthpiece.

The voting system DTWS is using this season should benefit Spicer and Republicans, as votes only from the south and eastern states are taken live.
Californians, who live in the largest state in the country and are much more likely to oppose Trump and Spicer, are left out of the voting.
It is a truly rigged show, without Spicer needing any help from the Russians.
Monday isn’t the first time Trump has voiced his support for Spicer on “Dancing with the Stars,” as he also tweeted about him joining the cast in August.
“He will do great,” Trump wrote at the time. “A terrific person who loves our Country dearly!”
Spicer told USA Today there’s no question a “huge” amount of his votes come from Trump supporters.
This is supposed to be a dance show, remember?
Trump has more than 65 million Twitter followers, which DWTS producers love as ratings on the aging show continue to decline.
This should be the last season of DWTS especially if Shawn Spicer wins because of the voting sham. When the worse dancer in the history of DWTS can manipulate the votes because of politics it surely makes the show disgusting.
