Trump Admin’s Desperate Attempt at Coolness

Nicki Minaj and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just made a ridiculously cheesy TikTok video together. They’re dancing back-to-back, lip-syncing to a mashup of Minaj’s 2012 hit ‘Beez in the Trap’ to promote ‘Trump Accounts’ – new investment accounts for kids.

It’s a Hard Sell

Let’s be real, it’s a pretty sad attempt to make the Trump administration seem hip. It won’t work. The video’s already getting roasted online, with many calling it a tone-deaf PR stunt. It’s just another example of the administration’s cluelessness when it comes to young people.

Nicki Minaj’s involvement is particularly surprising, given her history of speaking out against the Trump administration. Guess that’s what happens when you’re getting paid to promote something – principles go out the window.
