Anyway, the event Minaj attended was a thingie for Donald Trump’s scammy, grifty “Trump Accounts” for kids. She is reportedly bribing pledging somewhere between $150,000 and $300,000 to fund them for the children of her fans, not that we imagine there are so many of those left.

Speaking of fans, she went onstage and said she’s Trump’s “number one fan”:

“And the hate with what people have to say, it does not affect me, at all,” Minaj said in her speech. “It actually motivates me to support him more. And it’s gonna motivate all of us to support him more. We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him. The smear campaigns, it’s not going to work. He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen?”

That’s right, Nicki Minaj — who back when she had a moral compass seemed genuinely distraught by Trump’s evil immigration policies — is going to protect Trump from bullying. Yeah OK.

(Is this a good place to mention that lots of people think Minaj is only doing this because she wants pardons for her sex-offender husband and brother, who was convicted of child rape and sentenced in 2020? Trump sure does love child rapists! Of course, as Arwa Mahdawi notes in The Guardian, Trump can’t pardon state convictions, but as we’ve seen with Tina Peters, he’s sure willing to try to bully states into doing it.)

After the event, Trinidadian immigrant Minaj revealed that Trump had given her one of his tacky golden grifty million-dollar green cards, for free, which she says is giving her US citizenship . . .
