Donald Trump held a rally in Michigan on Sunday to support Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers in his contest against Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. During the event, Trump made comments about the physical appearance of several individuals, including rapper Nicki Minaj and Ohio Senator Jon Husted.
Trump referenced previous remarks he had made about Husted’s physique, saying he had examined the senator’s appearance while discussing Husted’s athletic background. Trump characterized the subsequent commentary as made “in fun” and indicated the media coverage of his statements constituted “fake news.” He stated he had only engaged in such physical observations of men rarely, if at all.
At the Michigan rally, Trump also directed comments toward Minaj, who was reported to be present at the event. Trump noted her appearance and invited the crowd to acknowledge it, saying “that’s hard to miss.” He remarked that Minaj “has been with us for a long time” and expressed hope she was not offended by his remarks.
Trump’s comments about others’ appearances drew criticism, with some observers characterizing his language style as grotesque. The remarks follow similar observations Trump made at other recent campaign events about Republican congressional candidate Ed Gallrein from Kentucky.
During the Michigan rally, Trump also addressed trade policy, stating that tariffs imposed on Canada would be resolved soon, asserting that Canada had been taking advantage of the United States for years. The White House did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding Trump’s pattern of discussing others’ bodies.
