Donald Trump said he hoped Nicki Minaj 'wasn't insulted' after describing her as having a 'beautiful a**' and asking her to stand during a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, 25 October. The president followed the comment about the rapper's body by telling the crowd: 'We love Nicki.'
Trump was in Michigan to campaign for Republican candidates ahead of the 3 November midterm elections, with Senate nominee Mike Rogers among those appearing at the event. His remarks about Minaj briefly shifted attention from the political purpose of the rally to the rapper's appearance.
