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.

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’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 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.

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Exactly. Thats why(usually) far-righters are white. They never had to experience hate, discrimination, abuse, etc so it easy for them to say they “are the best ones” and then ususally they make policies that also affect them but they usually ignore their own laws(hitler did that). And the last thing is, im a cishet(mostly) white man so if i recognise this i dont think its hard, they are just idiots or sheep being led into hate.

The fact you think they’re doing it for the potential of getting laid says a lot about your mindset.

Either pay a hooker or go to therapy bro. Stop making your problems everyone else’s.

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.

I think it’s more he suddenly realized Trump didn’t care about him and that if Trump was lying about such trivial stuff as knowing him, he probably lies about a lot more stuff.
