President Trump comments on Nicki Minaj's appearance at Michigan rally

President Donald J. Trump traveled to Port Huron, Michigan, on Air Force One accompanied by rapper Nicki Minaj. During a rally on Sunday, the president remarked on Minaj’s physical appearance, saying he had noticed her “beautiful ass” and expressed hope that she was not offended by the comment. Minaj responded on stage, thanking the president for “changing the energy of the country” and urging voters to support the Republican ticket, describing the election as a “major turning point for our country.”

The president’s communications director, Steven Cheung, posted a video of Minaj aboard Air Force One discussing the administration’s economic and foreign-policy agenda, captioning it with a suggestion that she might become the new White House press secretary, a position that became vacant after the dismissal of Katie Zacharia. The White House’s official X account reacted with an eyeball emoji, and adviser Alex Bruesewitz asked supporters for their opinion on the idea.

Minaj, a Grammy-nominated artist born in Trinidad and Tobago, has publicly expressed strong support for President Trump, describing herself as his “number one fan.” The rally also featured the president’s remarks about other political figures, including a comment on Ohio Senator Jon Husted’s physique and praise for candidates Ed Gallrein and Mike Collins.
