And she\u2019s got real talent, Nicki Minaj. Nicki, stand up, please. Such a great person and respected by everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n Minaj drew a round of applause from those attending the luncheon, as she basked in the president\u2019s praise while wearing a pink dress.<\/p>\n Nicki Minaj posted a photo with Donald Trump<\/a> from the Oval Office. \u201cWhoa!!!! #WhiteHouseBarbie with her favorite President of all time,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n The public love affair between Minaj and Trump <\/a>has blossomed over the course of the last year since the Young Money rhymer made the MAGA pivot<\/a>.

And it\u2019s going to motivate all of us to support him more.\u201d<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cWe\u2019re not going to let them get away with bullying him. And you know, the smear campaigns.
