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.

This is absolutely hilarious.

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.
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.
I’m a republican, I was the throat goat until Ronnie made an honest(ish?) woman out of me. Now I assume all other women are ho’s and make all my life decisions based on this false assumption.
See: welfare mother who keeps having kids to get rich??? or something?
Two self-centered egoists orbiting the same star of blinding stupidity.
Surely you understand their position though? The face-eating leopards haven’t eaten THEIR faces yet, and they hang around all the time! It would have happened by now if the face-eating leopards was gonna eat their faces! Have some sympathy - having their face eaten by the face-eating leopards truly came out of nowhere and was unexpected!
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.
Too late. Maná, one of his musical idols, already pulled their collaboration with him and posted this beauty.
I dislike mana, but that’s a great response
Noooo… Mana has some nice bangers
Republicans think misgendering people is all fun and games until it happens to them.
Republicans think denying women healthcare if they miscarry it’s a good plan until it happens to their loved ones.
Republicans think that having an abortion is a decision full of hate and evil until their daughter wants one.
Republicans think that having active shooters in schools is a mildly unfortunate consequence of important gun freedoms until it happens in their children’s schools.
But also republicans are surprised and hurt that their good republican friends aren’t supportive when they are the victim of republican behaviour and politics.
“It’s not a problem unless it’s happened to me” is why people are right wing. It’s being self absorbed turned into a political movement for the advancement of shareholder profits.
Republicans think that having an abortion is a decision full of hate and evil until their daughter wants one.
Until their daughter wants one, or their mistress wants one, or the person they raped wants one
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.
No it has nothing to do with the misgendering itself.
It is 100% that Nicky realized that mistake meant that Trump did absolutely nothing to know who he was, not even looking at a photo, before introducing him on stage. That his endorsement meant literally nothing to him other than the publicity.
While not doing much research is generally common in Hollywood and similar fields, people at least will look at your photo first. Trump didn’t even bother to do that.
“It was funny, but now that it is happening to me it is not funny.”
His ego couldn’t take the mockery. Hence the 22 cry-laughing emojis when he was actually seething
Why did she think that endorsing Trump would work out for her?
How fucking pathetic must you be to go out of your way to suck DonOld’s dick just to spit it out when he misgenders you lmao
🤣🐈
Wow, she’s so hot.
🤣
In fairness, she IS hot…
Micki Free is not a girl.

Don’t forget that Anuel AA and Justin Quiles have also endorsed Trump at his events.
