Nicky Jam withdraws support for Trump after insults against Puerto Ricans

Singer Nicky Jam, who was seen alongside Donald Trump at a Las Vegas rally where Trump introduced him as a pretty woman (!), has finally officially withdrawn his support for Donald Trump in the election.

This follows inappropriate remarks about Puerto Rico made by a comedian on stage at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

Nicky Jam says Puerto Ricans deserve better, after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at the biggest Trump rally of this election cycle at Madison Square Garden.

Jam explains that, although he initially supported Donald Trump thinking he would be good for the economy, he never imagined he would hear such comments coming from Trump’s campaign.

A very wrong joke seems to be the main reason for Nicky Jam’s withdrawal of support, born to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father:

In September, Trump introduced Nicky Jam on stage at his rally, calling her “she” and calling him “very pretty”, before being visibly surprised to see… a man join him on stage.

The comedian racist and inappropriate joke at MSG continues to provoke reactions and is even referred to on Wikipedia as an “October Surprise” against Trump in the 2024 elections.

The election results will determine whether this huge gaffe on the part of Trump’s team will have an impact on the ballot, but many think it’s likely.
