Donald Trump and Julio Iglesias engaged in a war of words in the press Wednesday after the singer said he'd no longer perform in casinos owned by the billionaire presidential candidate. The singer called Trump a "clown" after saying "sorry to clowns" in an interview with the Spanish-language La Vanguardia, according to The New York Times. Although Iglesias was born in Spain, he titled his most recent album Mexico, a country that's been the target of many Trump rants since he announced his candidacy.
"I will never again play in his casinos," the singer said, saying that Trump's position on immigration wasn't correct. "I don't want to hurt the immigrants all over the world, and there are many casinos I can play that aren't owned by Mr. Trump."
The billionaire responded in a short statement: "Good, I don't like his voice or his performances anymore, anyhow!"
In the interview, Iglesias shrugged off the notion that he was bringing up Trump for publicity. "I'm maybe the biggest Latino artist in history," he said. "If you think that I need that now, that's wrong."

For all the libs I’ve loathed before
Who act like some public’ty whore
I’m glad they came along
I’ll cease to buy their song,
Don’t let your ass get hit by th’door
In fact, that goes for anybody who has ever up-sung that part.
Julio Iglesias , the cure for insomnia
Amen. He’s no Englebert Humperdinck, that’s for sure.
Hispanic Chamber CEO: Donald Trump spelled end of his campaign by ignoring us (GO TRUMP GO!)
“Julio Iglesias is still alive???”
'Yes. He just sounds dead.'
LOL!
I had to read that twice before I caught on. I need another coffee...
Why should we care what any entertainer/mediot/DC Pundit says?
Do Pablo Picasso or Michelangelo qualify as ‘latino’ artists?
Oh, I respectfully disagree. We need a moratorium on all legal immigration, the visa programs need a serious overhaul, and Illegals need to dealt with once and for all.
I agree, but it’s not my premise, unlike our politicians, I can’t take credit for it, as much as I agree with it. It’s a quote from one of Heinlein’s books.
I find myself pasting it often, here and on facebook.
LOL!
Like Julio will be remembered like Elvis? I don’t think so. If the King lived to 80, he’d still draw a large audience. I’d bet dollars to donuts Elvis would have supported Trump.
Donald Trump: “Good, I don’t like his voice or his performances anymore, anyhow!”
Fifty-five million Hispanic-Americans: ‘’Good, we don’t like Donald Trump anymore, anyhow, and we’ll never vote for him or for anyone else in the Republican party, which supports him as its leading candidate!’’
Sometimes I wish there was a “like” button on FR. You’ve nailed my opinion on the subject of the National Anthem.
I came to that conclusion in the 1990’s.
Like you, that wasn’t an original stand by me. Even then a lot of people like you and I had come to that decision.
“For all the libs I’ve loathed before

HILARIOUS!
You have a gift!
More like the cause of insomnia. Listening to the creepy old crooner gives me a headache.
