    Julio Iglesias says he will not perform in 'clown' Donald Trump's casinos

    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 *******,” 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.

    Various organisations have severed their ties with Trump over the comments, including the Spanish-American celebrity chef José Andrés, who backed out of plans to open a flagship restaurant in a new Trump hotel.

    Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric has alienated Latino voters. He is viewed unfavourably by 82% of Hispanics and favourably by 15%, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll released last month.


    Iglesias, 72, is Latin music’s top-selling artist, with 300m albums sold in his decades-long career. His latest album, Mexico, features 12 songs with a Mexican flavour and pays tribute to the country’s great songwriters.

    Well, if Julio feels that way about it, then I'll refuse to listen to any of his shows, concerts, CD's or other mediums. Donald Trump can fix much of what's wrong in our country and his statement had nothing to do with Spain or Mexicans. It had only to do with illegal aliens from Mexico who are in our country stealing our jobs, deflating our wages, robbing our welfare funds, flooding our schools and hospitals, and yes, committing crimes including murders, rapes and drug-running to name a few.

    Shame on you, Julio! Shame on you.

    BOYCOTT JULIO!

    Who knew that Julio Ignatius was still around. Must have needed some publicity.

    I had zero interest in seeing Julio Iglesias before

    and even less now.
    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Donald Trump, Julio Iglesias Battle Over Immigration

    "I don't like his voice or his performances anymore, anyhow," GOP candidate says when singer refuses to play in billionaire's casinos

    BY KORY GROW October 7, 2015


    Donald Trump and Julio Iglesias had a war of words after the latter announced he'd no longer perform in the billionaire GOP candidate's casinos Rex, Alex Wong/Getty

    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."

    Since comparing undocumented immigrants to "rapists" in a speech, Trump has sparked worldwide ire for his rhetoric. He has nevertheless maintained his stance to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. "We can have a great and beautiful wall, we'll have our border, and guess what? Nobody comes in unless they have their papers," the billionaire recently said on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. He also maintained that he was unapologetic for anything he has said.

    Maybe he can sell his new Album in Mexico. No American should buy it and No American should go to his shows no matter where they're booked. We don't need foreigners interfering with our politics or our elections.
