Why this story? The video drew 528 comments in its first day, 8.4 times a normal first day on this channel (63).

Trump Praises Nicki Minaj's Backside At Michigan Rally

Nicki Minaj embraces Donald Trump at the podium and leads the Michigan crowd in a chant supporting him. Just before that, the president has introduced the rapper with remarks about her backside.

Inside Edition's report captures Trump adding, "I hope Nicki wasn't insulted." Minaj then addresses the crowd: "Michigan make some noise!"

The segment prompted more than eight times the usual first-day comments for the channel's Shorts, although its views were ordinary. The substantive questions in the responses concern presidential professionalism and whether comparable remarks by Barack Obama or Joe Biden would receive the same treatment. Other viewers invoke workplace standards of conduct.

The report moves beyond the rally to Bill Maher's jokes following his White House dinner with Trump, then the president's lengthy social media response. It closes with former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt appearing on Maher's program to defend Trump, bringing another encounter between politics and entertainment into the same brief segment.
