The LSU star began her final season on Friday night, with boyfriend Paul Skenes among the crowd as the Tigers beat Iowa State.
Dunne shone on the floor and the beam and ahead of the meet, the 22-year-old showed off her dance moves.
The gymnast posted a short clip on TikTok, which showed her and teammate Kylie Coen imitating the president-elect.
'A little pre-meet hype,' Dunne wrote after joining the likes of Brock Bowers and Christian Pulisic in doing the 'Trump dance'.
Following Trump's win in the presidential election, stars from across sports have celebrated on the field by shuffling like the 78-year-old.

Trump popularized the moves during the recent election campaign, before he beat Kamala Harris to seal a return to the White House.
Bowers, Calvin Ridley and Nick Bosa were among the first athletes to imitate Trump and, on Friday, Dunne and Coen joined the craze.
She posted the video ahead of LSU's season opener against Iowa State, which kicked off her fifth and final year with the Tigers.
Dunne's boyfriend, MLB star Skenes, was among the crowd. The meet came only days after they celebrated the New Year in New Orleans - on the same night as the deadly terror attack.
