After Democrats flipped both the House and the Senate, Donald Trump had a full-throttle meltdown — and Nicki Minaj followed suit.
The rapper spent much of the last several months as one of MAGA’s favorite mouthpieces, popping up at various White House
events and even hitting the campaign trail alongside Trump in an attempt to boost Republicans in the midterm elections. Now that Democrats won just about everything in a nationwide rebuke of Trump and the Republican Party, Minaj is doubling down and planting her feet firm on the bandwagon she tossed herself on earlier this year.
After a brief period of silence following the midterm results, Minaj aired out her grievances the day after with a 15-point post on X. Among the items on her listicle, the rapper made a range of statements from the obvious, “Trump is STILL your PRESIDENT,” to the not-so-obvious, “Maybe now our people will WAKE UP.” Minaj also congratulated Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna for winning Florida’s 13th Congressional District race (although the Associated Press had yet to call it at time of publication) and staunch Trump supporter Byron Donalds, who won the state’s governor’s race.
Notably, as fact-checked by Snopes, most of the candidates that Minaj publicly endorsed during the midterm elections lost including Republican Mike Rogers of Michigan, who lost to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed; Republican candidate for New York governor, Bruce Blakeman, who lost to incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul; and Republican gubernatorial candidate John James, who lost to Democrat Jocelyn Benson in Michigan governor’s race.
Donalds appears to be the one successful candidate out of Minaj’s picks.
Elsewhere on X, Minaj took a swipe at the masses and wrote, “Elon is STILL a trillionaire and you are STILL posting on his app. I’m sure the shareholders appreciate the dialogue.” She also gave Musk’s Grok chatbot a shoutout and called it a “phenomenal product that has significantly changed my life for the better.”
The bizarre ramble is the latest in Minaj’s slump into Trump’s MAGA universe. In October, Minaj hopped on Air Force One with Trump on their way to a rally and held a mock interview with the president. She lauded Trump as a businessman and a “great guy” who had “won three elections,” though he has won two.
Turns out, flattery will get you nowhere. The Democrat party is poised to win over 250 seats in the House of Representatives, a massive advantage, and at least 55 seats in the Senate after winning hard-fought races in states like Texas, South Carolina, Kansas, Maine, and Iowa. The stunning defeats across the country made it clear: America is done with Trump’s economic fumbles, war with Iran, and broken promises.
