In this powder-keg political climate, there is one thing wispy-haired zealots and everybody else can agree on, and that is butts, according to Nicki Minaj.

Singing hits such as "The Crying Game," "Truffle Butter," and "Feeling Myself" at the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday, Minaj gave a special S/O to Donald Trump and Joe Biden before "Anaconda" because, again, the unifying power of butts. "I'm very political and I would like to dedicate a song in the spirit of unity to Joe Biden and Donald Trump," she said. "Who do you think likes the biggest butts? Donald Trump or Joe Biden? Trump?" (Literally could not tell you.)

Other notable quotes: "If you don't need a man to buy you a car or a house, make some mother*cking noise," she said to the women in the room. And, to the men, "If you don't know how to treat your woman, there are 100 dudes lined up ready to treat her like a queen."
