Nicki Minaj Publicly Supports Trump Initiative at Washington Event
In Washington, D.C., rapper Nicki Minaj spoke at the Trump Accounts Summit on January 28, where she expressed strong support for President Donald Trump’s new federal savings program aimed at U.S.-born children.
During her remarks, Minaj described herself as “probably the president’s No. 1 fan,” saying that criticism of her political stance had not diminished her support. She said opposition to Trump only “motivates” her continued advocacy for his policies.
Minaj also addressed what she described as public “bullying” of the president, emphasizing her view that Trump remained resilient in the face of controversy.
At the event, she praised the Trump Accounts initiative — part of broader tax and spending legislation — which proposes that the federal government open investment accounts with a one-time $1,000 contribution for children born between 2025 and 2028, provided parents enroll them. Minaj announced plans to contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 toward the program.
The summit, hosted by the U.S. Treasury Department, featured other speakers and highlighted the administration’s effort to encourage financial literacy and savings for young Americans.
