'She's Hot,' Trump Says Of Singer Nicky Jam, Who Is A Man
HuffPost
The former president misgendered the Latin singer, but he seemed to take it in stride.
Former President Donald Trump welcomed Latin singer Nicky Jam on stage at a Las Vegas rally on Friday, but misgendered him, saying “she” is hot.
“Latin music superstar Nicky Jam,” Trump said. “You know Nicky? She’s hot. Where is Nicky? Where is Nicky? Thank you, Nicky. Great to be having you here.
“Oh, look ― I’m glad he came up,” Trump said, correcting himself, as the singer walked onstage.
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign highlighted the snafu on its social media pages Saturday.
Jam’s reps did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But the artist on Saturday posted a screenshot of a Spanish-language post about Trump’s mix-up, along with 22 laughing-crying emojis.
