WWE wrestling legend Hulk Hogan discusses how the ‘Trump Dance’ is taking over the sports world and the country on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’ Not even pro women's golf tournaments are safe from the Trump dance. Amid a phenomenon of American athletes using the dance to celebrate big moments during games since Trump's election win, English women's golf star Charley Hull brought the moves to The Annika, a premier event in the sport, this past week. On Thursday, Hull addressed the dance and her feelings about the president-elect, calling him "brilliant" and a "legend." "I love Trump. I think he’s brilliant," Hull said at the CME Group Tour Championship at Tiburon. "I like how he just says things, he doesn’t care what people think, and he’s straight to the point."

"I wish he was head of the U.K.," she added. "I just like him as a person. He’s a little better than our Prime Minister." Starmer assumed office this past July after the country's Labour Party won the majority in parliament. The Labour Party's victory ended 14 years of the Conservative Party's governance and was won with the smallest share of the electoral vote of any majority government since record-keeping of the popular vote began in 1830.

He faced controversy in September after reports that he had failed to declare a gift of several thousand pounds worth of clothes to his wife by Labour Party donor Waheed Alli, Baron Alli. Thus, Trump has earned Hull's affection and respect over the current leader of her own country. Hull previously expressed interest in the Women’s Open Championship returning to Trump Turnberry in Scotland in the future. "I thought it was a great golf course, great fun," she said while preparing for the Scottish Open, via The Telegraph. "I love being out there, and the views are brilliant. "Like honestly, it’s one of the best golf courses in the world. It would be a shame to not be on there." Other pro golfers have voiced support for Trump, including Bryson Dechambeau and Dustin Johnson, who was at the president's election victory party and played a round with him on his course in Florida.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Nick Bosa, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, Tennessee Titans wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Detroit Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez have all been seen doing the dance in games since Trump's victory. At UFC 309 , Trump was seated cageside as Jon Jones and Bo Nickal both showed support for him. Jones did the dance move after he knocked out Stipe Miocic. He handed the heavyweight belt to Trump afterward. Nickal talked with Trump about golfing after his victory.

Tracyn Thayer said she wasn't expecting many cranberries this year, in part because winter flooding ruined her irrigation pond south of Bethel. But when she went to her 2-acre farm, wielding a weed whacker to clean up the tall grasses, she discovered some beautiful, deep red berries peeking out below the blades. Overall, Maine cranberry growers had a good season, said Charles Armstrong, a cranberry expert at the University of Maine Cooperative Extension who assists farms in pest management. According to his calculations, the state's 20 farms harvested approximately 500,000 pounds of berries, equating to about $850,000 for growers. Now, growers have to navigate the intense demand that comes with the holiday season. This year, Thayer only picked about 500 pounds of cranberries, compared to 7,200 pounds from her first year in operation. But buyers are still asking for more, she said. "I don't have any more to sell," she said. This is her fourth season running Birch Bog Farm in Albany Township, but the first on her own. It wasn't an easy year, as she dealt with a divorce, difficult weather and maintenance around the bog. She still works a full-time job in accounting at Apex Group. But Thayer and her mother spent about two weeks sorting the berries and filled about 30 crates to sell, she said. Thayer sold her berries to Good Food Store in Bethel, Fair Share Market in Norway and Goranson Farm in Norway. During a good season, she expands that list to include places like Rosemont Market, Royal River Natural Foods and food co-ops in Portland, and in New Hampshire in Littleton and Concord. Thayer, like many cranberry farmers in Maine, picks her crops dry, using a mechanical harvester that looks like a lawnmower with rakes attached. Harvesting starts in the beginning of October. While many people associate cranberry farms with flooded bogs, like those seen in the Ocean Spray commercials, Armstrong said dry picking extends the shelf life. Flooding the berries is the easiest, quickest way to harvest, but the moisture makes the berries go bad sooner. That's why it's ideal for juice products, he said. Typically, Maine cranberries cost about $1.75 per pound, a staggering difference from the 20-cents per pound price for flooded crops. Organic crops can go for $5 per pound, easily, he said. Thayer's organic cranberries are certified by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association. People who buy direct from the farm will pay $7 per pound, $7.50 if they need the berries packaged. She charges $6 per pound wholesale and she recommends that grocers sell around $8.95 to $9.95 per pound. Karen Sparrow, who owns Sparrow Farm in Pittston, said she's not sure exactly how many pounds she harvested, but her 3 acres of bogs were full. Armstrong said she must have had a bumper crop this year. While she and her husband started the farm in 1978, her husband built the three cranberry bogs during the state's push to grow the cranberry industry in the early 1990s. The bogs' sandy soil helps the plants reproduce for years. In the winter, the bogs are flooded to protect the plants' vines. Since her husband died, Sparrow said she and her team of eight have worked harder to keep up with the demand and last-minute requests for cranberries. The farm delivers the cranberries and eggs to customers on a regular route that stretches as far south as Kittery. She met her customers over the years, and charges $7 per pound or $7.50 per pound when packaged in plastic clamshells. Portland Food Co-op produce manager Ryan Ference said he had to complete an "emergency run" to stock more of Sparrow's cranberries because it's been so busy. The store has been selling about 50 pounds per week, even before the holiday rush started. He said the store is fortunate to have good relationships with the local farms and farmers like Sparrow. "Everybody had a really rough year last year," he said. "The crops suffered. So this year has been a pretty phenomenal bounce-back year for all the farms." The co-op also stocks cranberries from Ricker Hill Orchards, which Armstrong said is one of the state's largest growers with 10 acres. The largest grower is Mingo's Products in Calais, which has 17 acres. Last week, Armstrong bought several packages of Ricker Hill cranberries at Hannaford and couldn't find a single rotten berry. That's a testament to the high quality of this year's harvest statewide, he said. "The color is really great," he said. "A nice deep red color, which Maine is kind of famous for. We have colder temperatures leading right up to harvest time. The cold nights really cause that deep, red color to form." The berries, which are a staple on Thanksgiving dinner tables, can last even longer when frozen. Sparrow recommends adding them to cereal or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Atsuko Fujimoto, an acclaimed baker who owns Norimoto Bakery in Portland's Deering Center, said she buys all local fruits for her pastries, including Maine-grown cranberries from local supermarkets and a wholesaler called Native Maine Produce. She often goes for Ricker Hill cranberries. The fruit is reliable and isn't as difficult to find compared to other fruits like blueberries, she said. Right now, Norimoto's menu features a buckle — a classic New England dessert — and a cranberry custard tart, which Fujimoto makes every Thanksgiving and said is a customer favorite. She makes about 100 of each dessert per week, about 1,200 of each per season. Fujimoto said when the season changes, she likes to swap the buckle's blueberry topping for cranberry. She said the best way to bake with cranberry is to balance it with something sweeter, like the sweetened condensed milk she uses for the tarts. Leftover cranberry sauce tastes great over ice cream, she said. But personally, she said she loves the berry's tart flavor. "I can't think of any other berries that last so long in the fridge. It's such a stable berry," she said. "I think it's the easiest berry you can work with."
