Spanish singer criticises anti-immigrant comments by US presidential hopeful, and apologises to clowns for comparison

The Spanish singer Julio Iglesias has said he will no longer perform in casinos belonging to Donald Trump because of anti-immigrant comments by the US presidential hopeful.

“I have sung many times in his casinos, but I won’t do it again. He seems to be an asshole,” Iglesias told the Barcelona-based daily newspaper La Vanguardia. “He thinks he can fix the world forgetting what immigrants have done for his country. He is a clown! And my apologies to clowns.”

In June, Trump said in a speech that some Mexican immigrants brought drugs and crime to the United States, and some were rapists. He has called for the mass deportation of illegal immigrants.

And if those contracts have a Radius Clause. He can’t play anywhere near them for the length of the contract. And some of them can be for 2 years and 200 miles.

Check the Biblical definition of a fool, Julio. You qualify.

I’m going to follow Julio’s lead. If New York doesn’t relax their gun laws I refuse to sing at Carnegie Hall. I’m sure that will have as much impact as Julio’s threat.

cc, since you will not be singing at Carnegie Hall, I just canceled my hotel reservations in NYC.

See, the ripple effect has already started....

Legal immigration helped build America. Trump has been all for that process. Illegal alien BORDER JUMPERS and those who overstay their visas deliberately and those in and out of government who tacitly support them, are who Trump opposes. Illiterate idiot singer shooting his mouth off for publicity before he stops to realize what the facts are. Where Julio comes from it seems facts are strange things, man. They only know La Raza.

One hit wonder.

The biggest wonder being as to why there were enough fools to make it so.

Trump should get an illegal alien to take this clown’s place and point it out to him.

You are correct sir: He better be willing to put his money where his mouth is. Breach of Contract is no laughing matter.

Even racist has-beens must obey the law.
