In a surprising twist during his bid for re-election, former President Donald Trump has found an unexpected ally in the world of urban music: Puerto Rican reggaeton star Anuel AA. Known for his hits like Más rica que ayer and Secreto, Anuel recently threw his support behind Trump, stirring both excitement and controversy. 

The connection between Trump and Anuel AA was first shown at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, where the singer made an appearance. The relationship has since evolved, culminating in Anuel's social media endorsement of Trump for the upcoming November elections. "Everybody vote for Donald Trump. My Latino and Hispanic brothers and sisters let's stick together as the family that we are and let's vote for the good and safety of our country which is our home," the singer said on social media.

Anuel's post featured a series of photos with Trump, including images of him with his father and his pregnant partner, Venezuelan model Laury Saavedra, at Trump's residence. The rapper described the former president as "humble and decent," praising him beyond his political achievements.

However, Anuel's endorsement has also sparked significant backlash, particularly from his home country of Puerto Rico. The island's residents still remember the criticism and lackluster response from Trump during Hurricane Maria's devastation in 2017. Trump's contentious remarks on immigration, including his inflammatory comments about Latino immigrants, have further fueled the controversy. 

In his rallies, Trump has made provocative statements about immigration, labeling it as a threat to American society and promising to carry out "the largest deportation operation in American history" if elected to the highest office again.

Anuel AA's endorsement of Trump is a complex issue, intertwining music, politics, and a contentious historical context. As the election approaches, the impact of celebrity endorsements on voter sentiment remains a focal point of discussion.
