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.

Nice post. Keep up the good work, and ignore all the Noob comments, it usually takes at least a year before they go away.

He’s 72 years old.I don't think Trump will miss him much...at 72 years old, his voice is probably shot as well as his mug...
Seriously doubt the ladies will be throwing their panties at him anymore..

He has a home in the States. Like most anti-Trump folks, he missed the part about “illegal” immigrants. He’s an immigrant, but almost certainly a legal one.
Spain has its own problem with illegal immigrants. I don’t know if he noticed.
