On Sunday, US President Donald Trump took a break from complimenting the buttocks of Republican senator Jon Husted to admire someone else’s.

“I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before – Nicki Minaj,” he said of the well-endowed rapper, who attended the president’s rally in Michigan. “That’s hard to miss.”

As polling day nears, the US president’s daily rally speeches have become looser and less inhibited. For the most part, this has manifested in funny, harmless ways, such as his routine about examining men’s bodies.

Some observers have interpreted this as an indication that Trump, 80, is mentally ailing and failing to conceal a latent bisexuality. A better explanation is simply that, as with previous campaigns, he has stumbled upon a bit that gets laughs.

While complaining about his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which is awarded by a Norwegian committee, the president bemoaned that Norway “sucks” and has “become a shit-house country, actually”.

Over the weekend, Trump boasted to a crowd in Georgia that the US oil and gas industry was making billions of dollars – trillions, even – while Americans paid higher prices for petrol due to the war with Iran.

“I can just see the fake headlines: President Trump is talking about all the money they’re making while people are suffering at the pump,” he mused. “I said, ‘I don’t give a damn, I’m going to say it.’ We’re making a freakin’ fortune.”
