This is absolutely hilarious.
My only interpretation is that Trump is basically senile grandpa at thanksgiving dinner making a gay jab at someone for having 2 pierced ears. I don't even get how he could genuinely and sincerely mix this up
It's because he's stupid. And he has no idea who Nicky Jam is. (I don't either)
But like, if you were running for president and about to speak to a crowd you'd probably low key phone half-pull and google the name and do the glance, right? Like 'what city am I even in' type shit, Trump is beyond dumb
You would. He wouldn't.
Trump has addressed the wrong city during speeches a bunch of times. Wrong state a few times too, iirc
This dementia patient became notorious for failing to spell "coverage" way back when he still had the occasional good day. He isn't searching around for a damn thing.
Lmfao. Like trump knows how to “google” anything.
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.
This is the explanation.
Trump heard 'Nicky' and assumed it was a woman. No additional complexity or nuance is needed.
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.
I knew a girl named Nikki....
I do too - it's a gender-neutral name. He just pictured a girl, and didn't even think that he might be wrong.
It's actually a line from "darling Nikki" by Prince.
Ah, I see.
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.
