Clearly Donald Trump isn’t tapped into Reggaeton culture. During a rally he referred to Nicky Jam as a “hot” woman.
As spotted on Raw Story, the presidential nominee is trying his best to gather support from the Latino community. On Friday, Sept. 13, he hosted a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the World Market Center. The politician announced that the “Baby” singer would be endorsing him but made it clear he had no idea who he was. “Do you know Nicky?” he asked rhetorically. “She’s hot,” he added asking “Where’s Nicky?” as he looked for the star to join him at the podium. Upon walking up Donald Trump realized he is not a she and said, “Oh, look, I’m glad he came up.”
The moment was super awkward, but Nicky Jam still tried to make the best out of the situation. “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky,” he said. “We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.” As expected the clip soon went viral, and Nicky Jam was faced with incessant ridicule online. “Trump thought you were a girl! He didn’t even take the time to look you up, and you’re here kissing his toes,” one user wrote.
He tried to make fun of the moment with an Instagram post where he referred to himself as a “hot” woman and several laughing emojis in the caption. It seems the joke was no longer funny to him as Nicky has since deleted this post and his endorsement of Donald Trump for president. You can view the rally footage below.
