“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,” said the 43-year-old reggaetón vet, who relocated from Massachusetts to Puerto Rico at a young age. “We need you. We need you back, right? We need you to be the president.”“Do you know Nicky? She’s hot. Where’s Nicky?” Trump said while looking off to the side for the “X” singer. A few moments later, the ex-POTUS spotted the Latin star and realized his mistake.
Maná has been a strong supporter of Democratic causes over the years, particularly related to immigration reform and other Latino related issues. “The way Trump expresses himself about Mexicans and the Latin community is incredible,” Olverafollowing a 2016 presidential debate. “Like a lot of people have perceived it, he is a racist.” The Mexican band also celebrated President Joe Biden’s 2020 win, the 78-year-old businessman-turned-politician in his 2024 re-election bid.
