Octopus Overlords

Reggaetón singer Nicky Jam is backing Donald Trump for president — but Trump was apparently under the mistaken impression that he was a “hot” woman.

At Trump’s campaign rally Friday in Las Vegas, the GOP presidential candidate announced the endorsement of “Latin music superstar Nicky Jam”: “Do you know Nicky? She’s hot!”

Trump, peering into the crowd, continued, “Where’s Nicky? Where’s Nicky? Thank you, Nicky. Great to be having you here.”

When the bestubbled Nicky Jam — wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat — emerged from the crowd onto the stage and shook Trump’s hand, Trump realized his error and said, “Oh look! Come here. I’m glad he came up.”

In his comments on stage, Nicky Jam said, “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. President. People that come from where I come from, they don’t meet the president. So I’m lucky. We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.” Nicky Jam was born in Massachusetts and moved to Puerto Rico with his family when he was a kid.

omg, it's so funny.

Former President Donald Trump is safe following gunshots "in his vicinity" on Sunday, according to his campaign.

“President Trump is safe," his campaign communications director, Steven Cheung, said, adding there were "No further details at this time".

The Secret Service confirmed in a post on X that they were investigating a "protective incident" involving Trump that took place shortly before 14:00 EST (19:00 BST).

The FBI, Secret Service and local Sheriff's office have just given a press conference.

If you're just joining us, or are in need of a recap, here's what they said:

At about 13:30 local time a call came in from the Secret Service saying that shots had been fired

Police units then sealed off the area immediately
Secret Service say the official in charge of staying one hole ahead of Trump on his golf course spotted a rifle sticking out of bushes and their agents opened fire
A witness then saw a man running from bushes and entering a black Nissan car which was pulled over by police and the man was detained

An AK-47 style rifle with a scope was recovered from a bush where the suspect was seen, along with two backpacks and a GoPro camera

This meltdown could be epic.

It's so weird. Loomer was a marginal figure hanging around the white-supremacist fringes of MAGA world for such a long time, and now she's suddenly not only in the inner circle but posing with Trump's hands on her in ways we've only seen him try to do with Ivanka.

He thrives on persecution and victimhood. America is a lawless wasteland. These incidents feed that.

If you want the climax to be someone shooting nearby but then someone else maybe trying to shoot Trump but not actually shooting, I'm going to need some serious corroboration.

Multiple sources (including the AP) are identifying him as Ryan Routh of either Hawaii or North Carolina (business owner in Honolulu, registered to vote in NC), an unaffiliated voter who supported Trump in 2016, and apparently Biden afterwards. He's also an anti-vaxxer with a criminal record involving weapons.

Plenty of room for spinning him either way.
