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.

    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?

        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!

      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.

    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.

      Until their daughter wants one, or their mistress wants one, or the person they raped wants one

    Wow suddenly they care about misgendering. I thought only betas and women care about it. Almost as if it feels bad to be called a gender(ar anything else actually) that you do not identify with.

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

    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.

      His ego couldn’t take the mockery. Hence the 22 cry-laughing emojis when he was actually seething

      Not only misgendering and not knowing anything, but for me the cherry was the fact that the only thing TFG could think to say about generic_woman was … that she was hot. What a stupid go-to. Not smart, savvy, interesting… no, she is obviously hot. That is the best compliment.

      Unfuck that guy.

      Probably thinking of Nikki Minaj or something.

      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

          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
