President Donald Trump has been likened to a “drunk uncle” by a CNN panelist after he complimented the rap star Nicki Minaj on her “beautiful skin” at a White House event honoring Black History Month Wednesday.
Trump used the event to reel off a list of his Black “friends” in defense of his record on race, introducing his only African-American Cabinet member, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, and other guests before launching into praise of Mike Tyson and other celebrities.
