АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трамп даваа гарагт Цагаан ордонд зохион байгуулсан үдийн зоогийн үеэр реппер Ники Минажийг онцлон дурдаж, түүнийг “нийтлэг эрүүл ухааны” талын хүн хэмээн магтжээ.
Ники Минаж нь сүүлийн үед MAGA хөдөлгөөнийг дэмжиж, Цагаан ордны үйл ажиллагаанд идэвхтэй оролцох болсон юм. Тэрээр өмнө нь нэгдүгээр сард хүүхдийн хөрөнгө оруулалтын данс сурталчлах ажлаар Цагаан ордонд зочилж байсан бөгөөд тухайн үед Трамп түүнийг өндрөөр үнэлж буйгаа илэрхийлж байв.
Тус уулзалтын үеэр реппер бүсгүй Цагаан ордонд авхуулсан зургаа олон нийтийн сүлжээнд хуваалцаж, өөрийгөө ерөнхийлөгчийн дэмжигч хэмээн тодорхойлсон байна. Түүний улс төрийн энэхүү байр суурь нь өмнө нь Трампын эсрэг үзэлтэй байсан шүтэн бишрэгчдийнх нь дунд шүүмжлэл дагуулж байгаа хэдий ч Минаж үүнийг өөрт нь ирж буй дарамт шахалттай холбон тайлбарлажээ.
Түүнчлэн, Трампын засаг захиргаатай холбоотой “Trump Gold Card” нэртэй картыг Ники Минаж өмнө нь олон нийтэд үзүүлж байсан ч энэ нь албан ёсны ямар нэгэн эрх олгодоггүй, бэлгэдэл төдий зүйл болох нь тодорхой болсон. Минаж нь 20 орчим жилийн өмнөөс АНУ-д хууль ёсны байнгын оршин суугчийн статустай амьдарч байгаа юм.

President Donald Trump lusted over rapper Nicki Minaj during a lunch at the White House Rose Garden patio, calling the controversial singer “so hot.”
The 80-year-old president gave the 43-year-old “Anaconda” singer, whom he has grown particularly fond of after she embraced the MAGA movement, a shout-out during the White House event on Monday.
“We also have a woman that is so respected and so hot and so great and such a great friend of, I don’t say conservative, I say of common sense,” Trump said before going on a rant about Democratic Socialists and Communism.
Turning his focus back to Minaj, Trump added: “She’s a fantastic person and she’s a woman that’s respected by everybody, and she’s got real talent, Nicki Minaj. Nicki, stand up, please. Such a great person and respected by everybody,” the president added, according to The Daily Beast.
The rapper shared several photos and videos of her day at the White House, including ones of her posing in front of Trump’s “Presidential Walk of Fame,” and next to the image of an autopen Trump installed in place of a portrait of former President Joe Biden.
“Whoa!!!! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time!!!” she wrote alongside a photo of her and Trump in the Oval Office.
Minaj previously visited the White House in January to promote Trump Accounts, the children’s investment accounts established by the current administration to help boost financial independence for American kids.
Trump also seemed to be enamored by the rapper then, and brought up her skin and nails unprompted during an address to mark Black History Month a month after she visited.
“I love Nicki Minaj. She was here a couple of weeks ago. She’s so beautiful. Her skin’s so beautiful,” he said in February, later obsessing over her nails, saying, “Her nails, her nails. They’re like that long.”
Also after her visit, the Trinidadian-born musician, who has admitted to entering the country illegally, flaunted her alleged “Trump Gold Card,” which provides a fast track to American citizenship for those willing to make a $1 million donation to the U.S. Treasury and pay a $15,000 processing fee.
On social media, Minaj claimed to have received her “Gold Trump card free of charge.”
The flashy, gold-colored card turned out to be a meaningless memento. The rapper already has a green card and has been a legal permanent resident for about 20 years, meaning she is well past the point of needing an immigration fast-track.
Minaj, who did not support Trump during his first term, has recently become a more frequent presence in the MAGA world. She has appeared at the White House in support of the president and at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest.
The rapper declared herself Trump’s “No. 1 fan” in January. However, her outspoken support of Trump has alienated many of her fans, even though she has tried to explain her reasoning behind backing the Republican.
“When I saw how he was being treated over and over and over, I just couldn’t handle it,” she said on an episode of The Katie Miller Podcast in February. “I felt that…a lot of that bullying, and the smear campaigns and all of the lying, I felt that that had been done to me for so many years.
“And I was watching it in real time happen to someone else, and I didn’t think he deserved it,” she said.
