Trump rallies for Mike Rogers – and Nicki Minaj’s derriere – in Michigan

Trump again congratulated Ohio senator’s rear end before his cheeky comment about rapper being ‘hard to miss’ Donald Trump reiterated his apparent love for buxom bums during a rally in Michigan on Sunday where he encouraged the crowd to compliment rapper Nicki Minaj ’s behind. Trump’s cheeky comments about Minaj’s derriere came as he explained his recent observation on the Republican Ohio senator Jon Husted’s rear end.
