Rapper Nicki Minaj proclaimed that “God is protecting” President Donald Trump as she spoke at an event launching a new economic initiative by the president, revealing later in the day on social media that she has received a Trump Gold Card and is finalizing her U.S. citizenship.

Minaj appeared alongside Trump at an event in Washington unveiling his Trump Accounts initiative on Wednesday, where she declared that she is "probably the president’s No. 1 fan" and that the backlash she has received for supporting the president "motivates" her to "support him more."

“It’s going to motivate all of us to support him more,” Minaj, a rapper known for explicit records who recently said she has reignited relationship with God, vowed. “We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him.”

After decrying the “smear campaigns," Minaj expressed confidence that Trump "has a lot of force behind him and God is protecting him.”

Before introducing Minaj on stage Wednesday, Trump announced that the rapper was “investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Trump Accounts to support the children … of her incredible fans.”

It's hard to see this as anything but political and social signaling dressed in shallow theology. And that's putting it mildly.
I was really surprised she self identifies as Christian.

Ever listened to some of her music and comments?

It’s not exactly “spiritually friendly.”

Oh well. Her life, her choice. Not saying I’m agreeing with everything she says…

In the past, in days of old, when people converted to a religious life as Christians, they took time out of the public eye to become settled and grounded. Today, they immediately feel free to announce it to the world. That's just a sign of the times.

That’s really unfortunate, imo.
