Is Nicki Minaj Trump’s Next Press Secretary?

President Trump is in the market for a new press secretary, and rumor has it he may have a favorite: rapper Nicki Minaj. Last weekend, the president gave Nicki his ringing endorsement at a rally in Michigan by telling the crowd she has “one hell of a beautiful ass,” and asking her to stand so they could admire it.  Is the Queen of Rap the next mouthpiece for the free world? Does she have what it takes to sell America on soybean subsidies? This week on Second Thought, Suzy Weiss, Dan Ahdoot, and comedian Matthew Broussard break down Nicki’s prospects—and explain what Young Money stands to offer this cabinet.  Then, they move on to Olivia Colman’s new movie Wicker—a strange story about why women are ditching their husbands, and falling for inanimate objects instead.  Plus: Bartering is back. Americans are eating buffalo brains. And more of the strangest stories you may have missed in unpopular culture this week.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
