Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

No it's simpler than that. He had no idea who Nicky was, and in his mind that's a female name so clearly introducing her as a hot woman is correct.
It has nothing to actually do with Nicky Jam.
This is the explanation.
Trump heard 'Nicky' and assumed it was a woman. No additional complexity or nuance is needed.
I don't think it's a jab. Trump just doesn't know these "celebrities or even care about people general. He's not interested to know these people. He just wants their support and then "they can all fuck off". He's not going to invest any time researching these people, he just doesn't care. I mean, he calls his supporters "basement dwellers". The man is merely a narcissist, that's all.
I guarantee you he asked someone who he was supposed to be introducing right before he went on stage, heard the name Nicky, pictured a woman, and introduced accordingly.
I knew a girl named Nikki....
I do too - it's a gender-neutral name. He just pictured a girl, and didn't even think that he might be wrong.
It's actually a line from "darling Nikki" by Prince.
Ah, I see.
It's because he's stupid. And he has no idea who Nicky Jam is. (I don't either)
Trump has addressed the wrong city during speeches a bunch of times. Wrong state a few times too, iirc
Lmfao. Like trump knows how to “google” anything.
This dementia patient became notorious for failing to spell "coverage" way back when he still had the occasional good day. He isn't searching around for a damn thing.
You would. He wouldn't.
