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.

    The Behind the Bastards podcast on them is pretty good (as are practically all of their content). Nancy gave ferocious BJs to Hollywood execs to keep her foot in the door (though that is not in the BtB) and Ronnie was who Hollywood turned to if they couldn’t get an A list or even bona fide B list actor.

    Neither were particularly bright. They loved the attention they got in politics, and strove to keep both the masses happy and the people they felt like were behind their ascension to power. They had several gay friends coming up through Hollywood and didn’t seem to have any personal issue with gay people, but they felt like they were expected to be publicly against gays because of the image they were expected to uphold. They probably weren’t terrible people, they were just useful idiots whom terrible people used to enact policy.

    Reagan, virtually a GOP Saint, was probably the tipping point that turned our country into an Oligarchy. His presidency will likely be remembered in history books as being disastrous for the United States of America.
