"SNIP...........

Nicky Jam, who endorsed Donald Trump last month, told his 43 million followers on Instagram that he is withdrawing his endorsement because he can’t look past the disrespect the Trump campaign has shown toward Puerto Rico.

4. By revoking the endorsement, Nicky Jam reveals a capability to be offended

and recognize bad behavior... Which makes the initial endorsement MORE egregious. Nothing TCF did prior to that endorsement was offensive or bad to you, huh? Telling on yourself here.

serious heat from fans and followers for a stupid decision that should never have been made in the first place.

And still have no idea who it is, but I also don't care, so no need to explain. Blissful ignorance here on "Nicky Jam." But if he/she/they turn even one voter who has yet to hit the polls, good on him/her/them.

13. About a month ago Nicky Jam endorsed Trump at a Trump rally

Trump mistakenly referred to Nicky Jam as she, apparently thinking Nicky was spelled Nikki. Basically Trump has no idea who some of the people endorsing him are.

Other than that I don’t know anything about Nicky Jam either. Other than he’s Puerto Rican, a male, and apparently pissed at Trump.

14. If that's what it takes to pull out of your Trump endorsement, so be it!

It's all alright, the insults, the demonizing and the bigotry until it is directed at you! Absolutely no ability for compassion or empathy!
