Ricky Martin blasts GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump as ‘xenophobic liar’

Don’t know how long this Donald Trump presidential reality show will last but latest polls show him well ahead of all his rivals right now.

Singer Ricky Martin has had enough of The Donald and penned an opinion piece of Trump and the Livin La Dolce Vita singer does not hold back:

The fact that an individual like Donald Trump, a candidate for the presidency of the United States for the Republican party, has the audacity to continue to gratuitously harass the Latin community makes my blood boil.

From the beginning his intention was transparent: basically tell barbarities and lies to remain relevant in the public opinion, for votes or simply to stay on the media’s radar.

This action from Trump doesn’t surprise me, what does surprise me is that as Hispanics we continue to accept the aggressions and accusations of people like him who attack our dignity. Enough is enough! If we are united for some things we should be united for others. We have already shown the United States who we are and we cannot allow this behavior.

We have to defeat the power that Trump pretends to have over Latinos, anchored in low rhetoric and xenophobic speech, which his campaign team is convinced works for him. Xenophobia as a political strategy is the lowest you can go in search of political power.

This is an issue that unites us and we need to battle it together, not just for us but for the evolution of humanity and those to come.

2 Remarks

  1. It’s really a shame that people don’t understand the difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. Trump is connecting with a whole lot of people because people are sick & tired of career politicians and have concerns about the free flow at the southern border.

  2. Ricky, thanks for your honesty. I’ll stand up with you on this matter and I’m not even Latino.
    I’m not wanting to speak ill of anyone but really, Donald Trump is a joke. I am though concerned that America will elect this attention grabbing… as President. God, American needs your Devine help now.
