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.
