Nicki Minaj praised the Trump administration’s leadership in front of a young conservative audience, telling “young men” they now have “amazing role models” in “our handsome, dashing president” and “the assassin J.D. Vance, our vice president,” framing both men as aspirational masculine figures in politics. Erika Kirk, hosting the exchange, responded to the crowd’s reaction by downplaying criticism and online attacks she has faced, saying “there’s nothing new under the sun that I have not heard” and that “God is so good” she can let insults “roll right off your back,” urging supporters to laugh off backlash rather than be wounded by it.
