Since announcing his bid for presidency, Donald Trump has rubbed more than a few people the wrong way with his viewpoints. Black Rose singer Tyrese recently shared an open letter, comparing the Republican presidential candidate to Adolf Hitler.
In the letter, shared on Instagram, Tyrese specifically addresses Trump’s recent call to ban Muslims from entering the country.
“Open note to Trump….” he wrote in part. “He has no idea of what’s about to happen……… He has mastered the art of winning #Battles….. But he’s for sure going to lose the #WAR…….. The antics and the gimmicks look good and feel good right? Got you really thinking your doing it right?? ……… But when it’s really time? #WATCH America show you how we #REALLY feel…… And we’re not talking about manipulated pole numbers……. United we stand…. Together we fall…… You’ve offended my #Muslimcommunity, and created racial boundaries and set my people up for hate crimes and to be targeted for bigotry because of the ‘acts’ of some.”
He shared the letter on his account four different times. Among the posts, the letter captioned a photo with a compare and contrast of Hitler and Trump’s political and social views.
“Islam is PEACE….. THE ACTS OF SOME of ANY GROUP doesn’t justify you spreading hate towards ALL of my people in the Muslim and or Arab community…. I’m deeply hurt and bothered by your antics and hatred towards my Muslim and Arab people…. You’ve offended my Latin community, you’ve offended my african American community – You will see…….. This is NOT how you make America great again……,” he continued.
Earlier this month, Trump released a statement calling for a complete ban on Muslim travel into the United States. In the statement, he shared his belief that the ban should be in place until “our country’s representatives can figure out what’s going on.”
Prior to that, he tweeted about the “extraordinary influx of hatred and danger coming into our country.”
