Hilarious throwback footage of Donald Trump playing beach volleyball goes viral
AMUSING footage of Presidential candidate Donald Trump playing beach volleyball has surfaced online.
Filmed in the 1980s, the hilarious clip shows the Republican nominee sporting jeans, an unflattering polo shirt and a baseball cap - while displaying his unrelenting will-to-win.

The video starts with the Kenny Loggins song “Playing With The Boys” which is a reference to the infamous volleyball scene from macho blockbuster Top Gun (1986) featuring a shirtless Tom Cruise.
Luckily, Trump kept his shirt on, although his cap fell off as he lunged for a stray ball unleashing his trademark bouffant hairstyle much to the delight of the cheering crowd.
The dramatic video ends with the billionaire property tycoon heroically dropping to his knees to make a winning point.
Trump then punches the air with delight – roaring like a capitalist apex predator.
The footage is a far cry from the beach volleyball competition at this summer's Olympic Games in Rio - which features super-fit athletes whose views on gun control are largely unknown.
