The bizarre, short clip is currently listed under Minaj’s “Reposted” tab. official tiktok accountWhere he has more than 22 million followers.
Although the White House post did not mention trans people by name, “No men in women’s sports” has been a cornerstone of Trump’s anti-trans agenda. On his first day in office in January, Trump signed an executive order making gender binary and determined by birth. In February, he issued an order titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports”, which deemed the participation of trans women in women’s sports a violation of Title IX, a federal law prohibiting gender-based discrimination in federally-funded programs, including schools. The ruling caused governing bodies like the National Collegiate Athletic Association to ban trans women from women’s sports leagues.
Most of the other videos reposted by Minaj in recent weeks are variations of her viral challenge playing mashup “Bees in the Trap” and “What’s Up” by 4 non-white people. It also includes a video from November 3, from the White House TikTok account, of Trump with his wife, Melania Trump. Instead of taking part in the challenge, both are seen walking holding hands stock footage.
Just days after Minaj reposted the TikTok video, the rapper posted a screenshot of the Trump post from Truth Social, a social media company partially owned by the president. Trump’s original post highlighted attacks on Christians in Nigeria. (as mentioned new York Times(Trump’s aid cuts earlier this year have killed more Christians than any group he is concerned about.)
Minaj said she felt a “sense of deep gratitude” after reading the president’s post because “we live in a country where we can freely worship God.”
“Thank you to the President and his team for taking this seriously,” Minaj said. “God bless every persecuted Christian. Let’s remember to keep them in prayer.”
When one of Minaj’s LGBTQ+ fans quoted the rapper’s post and criticized him for praising Trump and thus alienating her gay fans, Minaj lashed out at them and blamed her gay fans for not protecting her in a since-deleted post. Outside.
“Imagine hearing that Christians are being murdered and it being attributed to you being gay,” Minaj wrote. “When my home with my innocent child in it was invaded multiple times (there were probably 20 officers with guns pointed at the house due to political corruption), you being gay couldn’t save me.”
While Minaj has been more vocal in her support of Trump in the past, the rapper has expressed association with Trump as a presidential candidate. In a December 2015 interview boardMinaj said, “He makes some points that probably wouldn’t be so terrible if his viewpoint wasn’t so childish.” She added, “But in terms of entertainment – I think he’s hilarious. I wish they could film him running for president. It’s the ultimate reality show.”
