Trump comments on Nicki Minaj's body at Port Huron rally

TMZ's clip captures the president asking the rapper to stand, then saying he hopes she wasn't insulted.

Donald Trump Says Nicki Minaj Has a 'Beautiful A**' At RallyDonald Trump Says Nicki Minaj Has a 'Beautiful A**' At Rally

Donald Trump pauses his rally speech to point toward Nicki Minaj in the audience, prompting cheers and laughter before asking her to stand.

TMZ's Short, using footage credited to Fox News, centers on his comment that she has a "beautiful a**." The broadcast identifies the setting as Port Huron, Michigan, ahead of the midterm elections. A wider shot shows an attendee standing and waving as Trump acknowledges her.

"That's hard to miss," he says during the exchange. Then he returns to the speech: "Okay, I'm going to get back to my story. I hope Nicki wasn't insulted, but we love Nicki."

The clip drew about 34,000 views in seven hours, putting it on a much faster course than TMZ's usual Shorts. Its comment section was already more than ten times as busy as a typical upload's entire first day. The brief exchange, rather than the substance of Trump's campaign speech, is what TMZ puts front and center.
