President Donald Trump praised Ohio Senator Jon Husted’s athletic build and quipped about rapper Nicki Minaj while addressing supporters at a Michigan rally for Senate candidate Mike Rogers on October 25, drawing cheers from the crowd, according to The Guardian. The remarks were delivered to a largely Republican audience in the state’s western region. Earlier, CNN reported that Trump highlighted Husted’s physique at a rural GOP gathering, prompting jokes from fellow Republicans.
