MAGA rapper Nicki Minaj used a seemingly staged audition to be the next White House press secretary to gush about President Donald Trump on Sunday, just over a week after Katie Zacharia resigned from the post in the wake of her disastrous debut.

Minaj — in a bizarre clip shared to social media — is seen sitting across from White House communications director Steven Cheung on Air Force One as he asks her softball questions like why she thinks “the economy is moving” under the president and if there’s “anyone who works harder” than him.

Minaj — who has embraced MAGA with open arms over the past year — responds by declaring that Trump is “naturally” a businessman and that no one works harder than him before rolling out the false claim that he won “three elections.”

The clip ends with Minaj turning her eyes to the camera and chuckling as Cheung begins to speak, only to be cut off.

Cheung captioned the social media post: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!”

It’s unclear if Minaj is seriously in the running for the post, which Karoline Leavitt left for family reasons back in August and was briefly filled by Zacharia before the current vacancy.

Minaj was en route to Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday afternoon where she’s set to join the president at a rally for Mike Rogers, the GOP’s nominee for a U.S. Senate seat in the state.
