Reggaeton star Nicky Jam seems to be rolling back his support for Donald Trump after the Republican nominee mistakenly introduced him as a “hot” woman at a Las Vegas rally over the weekend.

Jam initially made light of the gaffe in an Instagram post—its caption referred to himself, in Spanish, as a “hot woman,” accompanied by no fewer than 22 crying-laughing emojis. But, as of Sunday night, the post had been deleted. The comment section on his most recent post before it, which was unrelated to Trump, was also deactivated.

Jam’s Trump endorsement, amplified by the buzz surrounding the awkwardly inaccurate rally introduction, has made him the subject of relentless criticism—and mockery—across the internet.

    Sucking a bendy straw through a garden hose is not that difficult…

      you know, i’ve never tried it, but i do have faith that you are very wrong, wouldn’t you just suck the air through the straw too?

          Actual physicist here.

          It’s a fairly simple question, if you suck a bendy straw through a garden hose you have to calculate two open cylinders. Almost like a pipe mail system. But the environment is completely different. If you suck on one side of the hose the air in front of the straw will rapidly cool down and the friction of the straw will heat up the air behind it. Like a jet engine. So the straw will accelerate to about enough speed to shoot right through your head.

          Don’t try this!!!
