Trump adviser calls Trevor Noah a 'talentless loser' for mocking Nicki Minaj at Grammys

WASHINGTON, DC: Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz unloaded on comedian Trevor Noah, branding him a “talentless loser” after the Grammys host took a swipe at President Donald Trump and rapper Nicki Minaj during his opening monologue in Los Angeles.

Noah used Minaj’s absence from the awards show on Sunday, February 1, to needle her public support for Trump. Within minutes, the president's allies were firing back.

Trevor Noah takes aim from the Grammys

Hosting the ceremony Sunday evening, Noah opened his monologue by calling attention to Minaj’s no-show.

“Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here,” the comedian told the crowd. “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”

Noah then slipped into an impression of Trump and mixed it with references to Minaj’s famously curvy image. “Actually Nicki, I have the biggest a**. I have it. Everybody’s saying it Nicki, I know they say it’s you but it’s me. Wap, wap, wap, look at it baby," he quipped.

The joke drew laughs from the Grammys audience, but sparked immediate backlash among Trump supporters who viewed the routine as a cheap shot.

The Trinidadian rapper has been increasingly vocal about her support for the president. “I will say that I am probably the president’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj previously said. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”

She recently posted photos showing off her Trump “gold card” visa, a program that offers applicants residency and a path to US citizenship. “Welp," she captioned the post.

“Finalising that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per my wonderful, gracious, charming president,” she later added, noting that the million-dollar card had come “free of charge.”

Alex Bruesewitz and MAGA fire back

Bruesewitz didn’t wait long to respond to Noah's Grammy jab at Minaj and Trump.

The 28-year-old Trump adviser and CEO of X Strategies LLC took to social media shortly after Noah’s monologue aired.

“Trevor Noah is a talentless loser and the Grammys are irrelevant. @NICKIMINAJ is a more successful and talented artist than any of the people in that room tonight,” Bruesewitz posted on X.

The MAGA backlash continued to snowball as other high-profile figures joined the fray.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung launched his own attack on Noah. “And Trevor Noah is still a giant loser who will be forever known for being unceremoniously kicked off The Daily Show for being a complete psychopath, only to be replaced by a rotating cast of even bigger snowflakes,” Cheung wrote. 

Meanwhile, Republican Utah Sen Mike Lee warned Noah and anyone else tempted to mock Minaj and Trump supporters at the same time.

“Pro tip: Don’t belittle Barbz and MAGA at the same time,” Lee posted, referring to Minaj’s fiercely loyal fanbase.
