Rapper Pitbull has promised Univision’s Mexican-born television personality Jorge Ramos that he won’t stay at any Trump hotels.
“Donald Trump doesn’t become Donald Trump by being ignorant,” he told Ramos during an interview that aired Wednesday. “What I think about Trump is he found a button that he likes, he sees that it got people real mad and hot, and he’s gonna keep pushing it.”“No, I wouldn’t be able to go to his hotels,” Pitbull said. “I just can’t. I can’t for the simple fact that you’re speaking about a culture that I ride, I die for. This culture’s the only reason I’m having this conversation right now.”
Ramos Tweeted on Wednesday afternoon, with a photograph of him alongside Pitbull.

Ramos’ daughter Paola works for the Democratic presidential primary campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Paola has held a vendetta against Donald Trump after his accurate comments about immigration-related crime in his presidential campaign launch speech.
Pitbull is the latest in a long line of celebrities, businesses, and career politicians to attack Trump over immigration–despite the fact that what Trump said about illegal aliens committing crimes was true.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio are competing for support of Pitbull because they believe his advocacy could be crucial to winning the key state of Florida.
Advisers to the two leading Republican presidential hopefuls have identified Pitbull as a potentially vital player due to his influence over the state’s large Hispanic community.
The 34-year-old Cuban-American rapper is the son of a street hustler and burlesque dancer. He has admitted dealing drugs in his teens before discovering music.

Trump is now the clear 2016 GOP front-runner and he has shot to the top of the polls in the Republican primary, surpassing Bush, while Rubio drops off significantly in recent polls.
