President Donald Trump praised rapper Nicki Minaj’s rear as “hard to miss” during a campaign rally at McMorran Place Sports & Entertainment Center in Port Huron, Michigan, on October 25, 2026, according to Billboard and The Independent.

What happened

The rally, part of Trump’s mid‑term campaign tour, featured the president commenting on the size and shape of the backsides of several public figures. After recalling a previous remark about Ohio Senator Jon Husted’s posterior, Trump turned to Minaj, saying, “I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before… Nicki Minaj!” He then invited her to stand and wave, and the crowd responded with cheers.

What the reports add

Billboard noted that Minaj, dressed in a conservative two‑piece suit, stood up at Trump’s urging and performed a brief spin while the audience laughed. The outlet also recorded Trump’s off‑the‑record comment that “women yes, men no” regarding his focus on female backsides. The Independent added that Minaj pledged “forever and ever” support for Trump and said, “I love him so much.” Both sources reported that Trump’s remarks followed a series of similar comments, including praise for WNBA guard Sophie Cunningham in Ohio on October 13 and mockery of Kamala Harris’s looks in Tennessee on October 10.
