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."

Another has been getting a little free press compliments of The Donald.
Julio Iglesias is still alive???
If it didn’t involve primarily Latinos, Julio, what would your position be? Would you even care?
What about all the Muslims now in your native Spain, got any honest opinions on that, loser ( with apologies to all losers)?
you beat me to it, I was just going to ask the same question.
“Julio Iglesias is still alive???”
Yes.
He just sounds dead.
We need a new IB. As in IBT(insert name here)ISA???
The prospect of the US beginning to defend its borders against central American indigenous peoples really hits these lilly white latinos where they live. They were really counting on us to take them off their hands.
“[T]here seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously”
Robert A. Heinlein
Why should we care what any entertainer says?
Isn’t he the asshat that was the first to “personalize” the National Anthem? Now no one sings it the way it is supposed to be sung.
That was Jose Feliciano.
Julio should keep his nose out of our immigration affairs.
Notice how it is only the Star Spangled Banner that gets butchered? Nobody screws around with O Canada or any other anthem. /rant
I thought Julio died years ago. Really? He looks like a cadaver.
Twenty dollars for both.
Just let me know where to send the check and the 8-tracks.
Trump and Julio down by the school yard!
Trump obviously like the ladies.
More like Julio and Elton down by the school yard.
Julio who? would be my response except for the article.
I just love Trump's response.
Good For Trump!!!
Trump is the nicest guy, ask anyone who knows him, read how other people that know him responds to him...
If you attack him, as I have said many times, he is like a viper and he will bite you back hard....
What is the difference between you getting attacked and attacking back...same thing with Trump...
We NEED someone who isn’t going to take it anymore, we need someone that will get in their faces, we NEED someone to get in their heads and drive them crazy....we NEED some one who is going to fight for US for a change...I’m tired of having to figure out every month if I’m going to have enough to live on, what if I get sick, is it going to wipe me out? What happens to the young family next door, he works 3 jobs a day, 7 days a week, mom stays home because she doesn’t have to pay for child care they can’t afford, she worries how am I going to fix meals good enough for my family....What happens to the elderly lady down the street, no family ever shows up, they live out of state, come maybe once a year..she shops on pennies, she goes to church, she always has a smile on her face when in public, but I’ve seen her inside her place with tears....
WE NEED SOMEONE STRONG TO TAKE CARE OF AMERICA AND WE NEED TRUMP TO DO IT, WITH OUR HELP!!!
