Music mogul Russell Simmons has penned an open letter to potential future president Donald Trump over dicey comments he has made to the press this month.

Simmons acknowledged comparisons Trump has had to deceased German leader Adolf Hitler.

“My friends, both Muslims and Jews, are saying there are so many comparisons between your rap and Hitler’s, and I cannot disagree with them, Donald. You can’t possibly want your kids or your wife Melania (all of whom I know and respect) to live with that. You are a born leader, who is set to possibly win the nomination of your party, but don’t compromise what I know is in your heart to do it. You are a generous, kind man who has built a career on negotiating deals where everybody wins. Now, you seem like a one-man wrecking ball willing to destroy our nation’s foundation of freedom.” (Global Grind)

Simmons also made a plea for Trump to reconsider his outlandish statements.

“Stop the bullshit. Stop fueling fires of hate. Don’t feed into the rhetoric created by small-minded people. You’re smarter and certainly more loving then you let on. The Republicans in power don’t like you any more than the Democrats in power, as they know you can’t be controlled, because you are your own man. You have been many people’s champ in the past, but now you are becoming a major embarrassment. I know the cheap seats are easy to play to, but you can get them just by being the man I have known for nearly 30 years.” (Global Grind)

This week, Simmons called for a ban on allowing Muslim immigrants enter the United States.

Trump has come under bipartisan fire since calling for the ban, with his fellow GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush calling him “unhinged” and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton calling Trump’s proposed ban “reprehensible, prejudiced and divided.” (The Wrap)

  1. I dont trump really wants to win i think he just likes the spot light and the attention running brings to his brand

      • The scary part is that like it or not he does speak for some people that feel that way…hence the cheers when he said it…i say this to now say i am extremly curious to know how he really feels

        • Actually he speaks for more than some… He stays winning for a reason. Just as he should. People are fed the fuck up with this country.

          • im not for blocking people…crusades were use to reprogram and slaughter….yet the people that committed those crimes are still here…I dont hate trump or support trump….i personally feel the whole entire system needs a refreshing all should be fired so that we get rid of the crooked …no longer should a diverse country be ruled by one race of people…so funny how we drop bombs and call our killers heros….yet when we get a taste its this that and the third…i dont support gov..murders or terrorist murder

    • He’s already won. Why do you think he has stayed in 1st place all along. Get over it. Trump is coming. Don’t like it, I guess you’ll be needing to move then.

  2. Trump is just catering to the audience. The white supremacist audience. I don’t even know if he believes half the things he’s been saying. However politicians will say anything to get elected so i’m not surprised. Anybody who tried to get the death penalty to five kids who were later proved to be innocent is not a kind man tho Russell Simmons.

  3. Send in the clowns; democrats, republicans, special rights leaders, all pushing their agendas down our throats claiming they are looking out for us. Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, all completely biased news organizations with the same talking heads year after year with their obvious positions on border control, gun laws, race, abortion, etc. We need new voices in this country, a new plan, a new organization to represent people of all color and creed.
