President Trump just attended a Black History Month event at the White House, where he spoke in detail about Black cultural figures and started to praise rapper Nicki Minaj, referring to her skin as so beautiful.
The American head of state did not seem to be stopping there, as he also rolled out comments for her long nails, in what many described as very bizarre and cringy. What was even more shocking was how the compliments were stated at Trump's Board of Peace meeting in front of the world.

Trump's comments sparked massive criticism across the board, with many calling out his behavior as related to a drunk uncle, while others slammed him for not thinking before he acted and spoke on a public forum.
