President Donald Trump is at it again complimenting butts ... as he just praised Nicki Minaj for having a "beautiful a**" to her face at a rally ... before telling her to stand up.
He said at a rally in Port Huron, Michigan ... "By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before: Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up. That's hard to miss."
Nicki Minaj has received some informal nominations to be the next White House press secretary ... with 2 staffers glowingly floating her name as a replacement after Katie Zacharia was fired.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ https://t.co/petoprxVoX

Sharing a video of Nicki Minaj lauding President Donald Trump's international politics on Air Force One ... White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote ... "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!"
The White House's X account responded with an "eyeballs" emoji ... before Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz replied ... "Hey Barbz, what do we think about this idea??"
Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt have officially tied the knot ... in a wedding weekend that saw President Donald Trump show up to the couple's party at Mar-a-Lago.
The Fox News stars were wed yesterday at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida -- the same place where Sean popped the question ... Fox News reported.
Their wedding and reception at the Everglades Club came a day after the president and First Lady Melania Trump attended a party thrown by the couple at Mar-a-Lago.
Kristi Noem allegedly created a fake press release using doctored State Department letterhead to explain why she was exiting her special envoy role after getting fired as DHS secretary ... this according to reports.
After the State Department announced her exit, Noem shared a press release on State Department letterhead, saying ... "The Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas role was always a six-month appointment. Secretary Noem remains at the State Department as a Senior Advisor."
Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.
The issue? Sources at the State Department say it was not an official release ... and that the letterhead was fabricated.
Karoline Leavitt came to the defense of recently fired White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia, calling it a "very tough job" and giving her credit for trying it out while comparing her situation to an episode of President Trump's former TV show, "The Apprentice."
Leavitt -- who was Trump's press secretary before Zacharia -- sat down with Bill Maher on his show, "Real Time With Bill Maher," ... and at one point during their convo, they turned to the subject of Zacharia's firing.
Leavitt pointed out that being a press secretary is a "very tough job" ... and that some say, "it's one of the hardest jobs in Washington."
Katie Zacharia is lookin' unbothered and lookin' good just one week after getting fired as Trump's White House Press Secretary.
TMZ obtained photos of Katie at the Calabasas Commons Friday morning, where she was grabbing a drink from La La Land in a pair of knee-high red-bottoms.
Katie paired the Louboutin boots with a sleeveless black minidress and sunglasses ... looking chill while she sipped her drink.
Another blonde bites the dust ... Britt McHenry is OUT at the Trump White House after being caught on video throwing a drink at a fan during a heated altercation at an NBA game.
Britt was forced to resign Thursday from her job as a U.S. State Department press adviser ... according to Page Six.
She was forced out hours after we first published video of Britt throwing a drink at a fan at Wednesday night's Washington Wizards game. Video showed Britt leaving her section to a chorus of boos and blowing kisses.
President Donald Trump says Amy Acton's mom calling her a liar should be enough for Ohio voters to back Vivek Ramaswamy ... and he claims he doesn't know a thing about the rape allegations against her ex-stepfather.
POTUS spoke to reporters on the White House Lawn Friday morning ... and was asked about the recent Ramaswamy ad featuring Donna Arthur -- Acton's estranged mother -- calling her a liar and telling people not to vote for her.
The estranged mom of Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for Ohio governor, just called her daughter a liar and urged people not to vote for her.
What the ad leaves out: Acton and her brother were removed from their mother’s custody after Acton accused her stepfather of sexual abuse at 12. Her mother stayed married to him.
@therecount
A reporter then asks if he simply doesn't care about the sexual abuse allegations levied against Acton's ex-stepfather ... who was charged with raping her when she was a child. Her mother lost custody after the charge was filed.
Instead of answering the question, Trump did what he does best ... berating the NBC reporter and her network and repeating over and over that all that matters is Amy's mom thinks she's a liar.
Trump claims the ad -- which shows Amy's estranged mother calling her a liar for accusing her of abuse -- is being targeted by the press in a "concerted and well-coordinated attack."
Here's the thing ... there's been bipartisan backlash over the ad, because Amy's stepfather was charged with raping her when he was married to her mother when Amy was a child.
Donald Trump is calling a technical foul on LeBron James ... ripping the NBA superstar as a "total disgrace" for practicing his golf swing during the National Anthem.
Trump went off on the athlete in a Truth Social post Thursday, writing ... "While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he's no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE."

POTUS is responding to a clip from Tuesday night's NBA opener between LeBron's Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks ... the Sixers are lined up for the anthem, but LBJ is hardly standing still or bowing his head.
11:30am PT -- A spokesperson for Omar tells TMZ ... "Rep. Omar has repeatedly and unequivocally denied this baseless, disgusting conspiracy theory. She denied it again on MS NOW—and when pressed yet again, responded sarcastically. This is a desperate political smear designed to distract from Trump’s failed presidency and two years of Republican failure in Congress."
Ilhan Omar is addressing the longstanding allegation she married her brother to commit immigration fraud.
During an interview with MS NOW's Chris Hayes, the Minnesota congresswoman was asked whether her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, is actually her brother, responding, "Not to my knowledge."
Omar also called the allegations "insane," pushing back against claims surrounding her 2009 marriage to Elmi. The allegations have circulated for years, though no evidence has publicly established that Elmi is her brother.
Patricia "Tan Mom" Krentcil claims she nearly ended up in handcuffs after an encounter with ICE agents ... and she believes her famously dark tan made her a target.
During a recent episode of her "Light Tan Up" podcast with friend and co-host Adam Barta and guest Tom Arnold, Tan Mom recalled walking out of a restaurant with her girlfriend when she says ICE agents stopped her and questioned whether she was an American citizen.
Patricia says she told the agents she was a U.S. citizen ... but claims the situation nearly escalated to the point where she was going to be handcuffed and taken away, all because of her dark complexion.
Sarah Palin's asking her followers to send prayers Ron Duguay's way amid his cancer battle.
The former Vice Presidential candidate took to her Instagram story Sunday to share photos of her boyfriend in his hospital bed, leaning on her faith during this tough time.
One photo shows Sarah holding the former NHL star's hand, which she captioned ... "Prayers for Ron Duguay so appreciated."
Rep. Ilhan Omar is in the federal government's crosshairs ... but whether that's the Trumpadministration's fault or Democrats' own past actions is up for debate.
We get into the nitty-gritty of the situation on today's episode of "The Low Down," the new YouTube collab between TMZ and the New York Post, where we give you the inside scoop on the biggest stories that are gripping, outrageous, and scandalous.
The feds are facing questions for going after the congresswoman ... especially since they're seemingly ramping up their attacks on her just weeks before the election.
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico heard his opponent, Ken Paxton, loud and clear when Paxton told TMZ Tuesday ... he'd agree to a debate under the right conditions, so Talarico has answered that challenge -- let's throw down at a TMZ-hosted debate!
Let us just say ... we would be psyched to host, and would move mountains to make it happen. J.T. suggests Jacob and Charlie should moderate, and we're totally down with that.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
More on the debate in a minute ... but Talarico had an interesting response to his fellow Texan, Matthew McConaughey, who dumped on the 2-party system a few days back. Talarico thinks Matt is onto something, and even endorses the actor as a great, third-party candidate for an unspecified office in the Lone Star State.
Donald Trump's personal attorney, Alina Habba, is denying a report she had a role in securing a pardon for Venezuelan billionaire Julio Herrera Velutini.
Alina fired back on X, writing, "If the New York Times simply went back and looked at their own reporting, they have already credited another capable attorney for what he successfully did without me and took credit for."
She added, "Any insinuation that my employment -- all of which has been vetted and disclosed to the D.O.J. -- had anything to do with securing a pardon is false and defamatory."
The New York Times reported Alina began working for a company set up by Velutini's daughter as part of a multimillion-dollar contract.
Velutini -- who had been facing felony bribery charges before pleading down to a misdemeanor campaign finance violation -- had his legal team seek a pardon.
Then his family reportedly offered Alina -- who was advising for the Department of Justice at the time -- a $50 million deal over 4 years to be general counsel at Concord Partners, a newly formed entity set up by Velutini's daughter, Isabela Herrera.
