Reggaeton Star Misgendered by Trump Deletes Endorsement

Jam, who was introduced by Trump as a “hot” woman, disabled the comment section of a recent Instagram post after being mocked by commentators.

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.

      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.
