Nicki Minaj didn’t just show up to a Michigan campaign rally this weekend. She became the moment. While speaking in Port Huron, President Trump singled her out and told her to stand up because she was“hard to miss,”following it up by calling her“one hell of a beautiful ass.”Nicki, in a conservative business suit, stood, waved, and spun for the crowd, then Trump added,“I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki.”
The moment wrapped a weekend of White House bonding for the rapper, including a video with communications director Steven Cheung aboard Air Force One where she echoed talking points on the polls. Cheung even joked she could be the next press secretary, which sent social media into a spiral. Nicki has supported Trump publicly since meeting him at the Trump Accounts Summit in January, and the rally had her practically glowing in the spotlight.
The clip arrives as Republicans try to hold Congress with Trump’s poll numbers sagging, which makes the pop-star push feel less random and more like a backup plan. Either way, the spin is going to live on the internet for a long, long time.
Do you think Nicki would actually make a good press secretary, or is this all just viral gold?
