Trump reviews Jon Husted’s ass again, then turns to Nicki Minaj

The Jon Husted body review is now a touring show. In Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, Donald Trump brought it back: “I looked at his ass. And I’ve never done that with a man before. It’s true.”

Then he found a second act in the crowd. “By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That’s hard to miss.” Minaj had travelled to Michigan with him, and later in the rally she was chanting “We love Trump!” He did check in afterwards: “I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted, but we love Nicki.”

Then the grievance. He said he was telling it “to show you how fake the news is”: after an earlier telling, “the press went crazy the next day. They said, what’s with Trump? All he wants to do is talk about a man’s ass.” His complaint is that “they didn’t explain the whole football deal.” So he explained it again. The ass was “like a big piece of muscle,” the feet “massive,” the fingers “like sausages.”

The lesson he took from all this: “You have to go right down the middle.” A few minutes later he said “it’s of no interest to me,” then offered the treatment to Mike Rogers: “I’d say that about your ass too, Mike, if it gets you a guaranteed victory.” By our count, this is at least the third telling since 17 October.
