I’m sorry, but Donald Trump is such an idiot. And he is surrounded by people who are supposed to keep him from looking like an idiot, and obviously it’s an impossible just because Trump keeps making embarrassing mistakes.

On Friday, Trump misgendered Reggaeton star Nicky Jam at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, introducing the male singer as a “hot” woman. The former president then came face-to-face with his blunder as the vocalist joined him on stage.

“Do you know Nicky? She’s hot!” the former president told the crowd following the musician’s endorsement of the GOP presidential ticket. Jam, donning a MAGA hat, then appeared on stage, prompting the Republican nominee to obliquely address his mistake. Of course he never corrected his mistake…because in Trump world, he makes no mistakes.

“Oh look! Come here. I’m glad he came up,” Trump said.

Trump: “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam. Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where is Nicky?"

Jam, who was born in Massachusetts but moved to Puerto Rico as a child, paid no mind to the fat former president’s slip up, “People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky,” he said to rally goers, before addressing Trump: “We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”

Oh to be an ignorant cultist. Most “alpha men” wouldn’t let someone get away with calling them a chick. But the cult runs strong!

Following the rally, Jam joked about Trump’s error, posting a picture to Instagram with the caption, “Nicky jam la potra la bichota” (which roughly translates to, “Nicky Jam the hot woman the female boss”) along with 22 crying-laughing emojis.

Kamala Harris’ campaign also took to social media following the campaign event, trolling her political opponent over the comment by posting a clip of the former president at his rally to Twitter.

Others on the social media app joined in, poking fun of Trump’s apparent lack of knowledge on Latin music and culture. “Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!” wrote one user alongside a screenshot of the former president’s infamous 2016 Cinco de Mayo post. Another riffed on an already-popular meme of ABC anchor David Muir fact-checking the former president during his Sept. 10 presidential debate against Harris, captioning the photo “Mr. President, Nicky Jam is not a “she” he is in fact, a man.”

The “Latin music superstar,” as described by Trump, joins the likes of Kid Rock, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Jason Aldean in supporting the former president. Harris, meanwhile, has received a veritable choir’s worth of musician endorsements, most recently from Taylor Swift following this past week’s debate.
