Reggaeton star Nicky Jam seems to be rolling back his support for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee mistakenly introduced him as a “hot” woman at a Las Vegas rally over the weekend.

Jam initially made light of the gaffe in an Instagram post—its caption referred to himself, in Spanish, as a “hot woman,” accompanied by no fewer than 22 crying-laughing emojis. But, as of Sunday night, the post had been deleted. The comment section on his most recent post before it, which was unrelated to Trump, was also deactivated.

Jam’s Trump endorsement, amplified by the buzz surrounding the awkwardly inaccurate rally introduction, has made him the subject of relentless criticism—and mockery—across the internet.

Too late. Maná, one of his musical idols, already pulled their collaboration with him and posted this beauty.

In fairness, she IS hot...

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why did she think that endorsing Trump would work out for her?

Too late, you’re still a Nazi.

Nicky Jam was fine with Trump, seemingly, up until he was misgendered by the latter.

Meaning all Trump's deeds were fine... up until this mistake at Nicky's expense - which was unintentional.

Yet when Trump attacked numerous other people throughout the years, that did not matter for Nicky.

Anyone else see the hypocrisy of the conservative mindset here as well?

I wonder if this Nancy Reagan meme is appropriate.

Blow job Queen Nancy Reagan? That Nancy Reagan?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The Nancy Regan that got pregnant with Ronnie's love child while he was still married to Jane Wyman? That Nancy Regan. Party of family values, ha!

I hear she could suck a golf ball through a garden hose...

I heard it was a bendy straw.

Facing the consequences of one’s actions is not a state of victimhood.

That said, this is hilarious. 😂

Meh, if you have seen trump over the last decade and still endorsed him, I don't know how him misgendering you changes that calculus.

He’s still got Kanye, Kid Rock and Nugent, right?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

I’m surprised Kid Rock and The Nuge haven’t already worked together. Sounds like a solid platinum record for the lifted truck and Skoal crowd.

They went crazy and they're no longer supermen.

They should put out an album together. The combined musical talent on display would be... the combined musical talent on display.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm upvoting this because it gives me the shivers to imagine. It would definitely be something.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd really rather it not, though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

A cacophony, to be sure.

[–] [email protected] 216 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is absolutely hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 2 days ago (6 children)

My only interpretation is that Trump is basically senile grandpa at thanksgiving dinner making a gay jab at someone for having 2 pierced ears. I don't even get how he could genuinely and sincerely mix this up

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I knew a girl named Nikki....

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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 because he's stupid. And he has no idea who Nicky Jam is. (I don't either)

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (4 children)

But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you'd probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like 'what city am I even in' type shit, Trump is beyond dumb

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago

You would. He wouldn't.
