Trump Says He’s Going to ‘Let My Nails Grow’ to Match Nicki Minaj as They Spend Day Together in D.C.: ‘I Love Those Nails’

President Donald Trump said he plans to grow out his nails to match those of Nicki Minaj, whom he introduced onstage during the Trump Accounts Summit on Wednesday, Jan. 28.

“I said I am going to let my nails grow because I love those nails. I am going to let those nails grow,” Trump, 79, told the audience as he called Minaj, 43, to the stage.

Trump praised Minaj for “being MAGA,” adding that “she’s been with us all the way.”

Minaj, a Trinidadian rapper, used her remarks to support Trump’s rollout of investment accounts for U.S.-born babies. According to CNBC, Minaj plans to contribute between $150,000 and $300,000 to the Trump accounts.

“I am probably the president’s No. 1 fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj said in Washington, D.C.

“The hate — or what people have to say — it does not affect me at all,” she added. “It actually motivates me to support him more. And it’s going to motivate all of us to support him more.”

“We’re not going to let them get away with bullying him,” Minaj continued. “He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him. Amen?”

Minaj promoted her appearance at the Treasury Department’s summit and her plan to pledge money to the project in an X post on Jan. 24, calling the accounts “The true meaning of paying it forward.”

“Early financial literacy & financial support for our children will give them a major head start in life,” she wrote. “In some cases, they will end up teaching their very own parents how to invest & what to invest in. This makes me very happy.”

Trump Accounts were introduced as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” The plan is for the accounts to be available to every U.S. citizen born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, according to the White House.

Each account “will launch with a one-time $1,000 government seed contribution,” and contributions can reach up to $5,000 per year, with funds “invested in a broad stock-market index.”

Account holders would not have ownership of the funds until age 18. The White House has claimed the accounts, “If fully funded and left untouched, could grow to as much as $1.9 million by age 28.”

Funding for the accounts has included commitments from MAGA-supporting donors such as Minaj, as well as Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and his wife, Susan Dell, who pledged to donate more than $6 billion in December 2025.

At the time of the Dells’ pledge, Trump called the donation “truly one of the most generous acts in the history of our country.”
