The legendary guitarist Carlos Santana has decided he’s had just about enough of Donald Trump, and in a Facebook posting, Santana praised President Obama’s State of the Union address and then took some very hard shots at the GOP frontrunner.
In an open letter, Santana wrote:
“I witnessed your speech last night. I am deeply inspired, encouraged and profoundly grateful for your words. Your consciousness soars with clarity and divine purpose. Your articulated your views, subjects and comments with compassion. You made me feel how blessed we are to share life with your leadership.
“Your words of spirit and global healing, unity and harmony for the betterment of the world….not just the USA. I pray for your continued safety for you and your family.”
And then the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member offered his very honest and incredibly hilarious thoughts on the Donald:
“Regarding Mr. Trump….I remember when I was a child living in Tijuana…I often crossed the border to visit the San Diego Zoo. I would hear loud screams and commotion in the distance. As I came closer to the sound, I noticed everyone was staring at an ape in a glass cage. The ape was staring back at the crowd that gathered. With an angry look of disgust, the ape defecated in his hand and threw it at the crowd. This is what I hear when Mr Trump speaks. He lacks consciousness as well as integrity. The Republicans and Mr Trump are selling hate and fear.”
But the great musician was not quite finished, adding:
“That is the opposite of what our Country stands for. Let’s go forward with light and love into the future. Global Peace is within our grasp in this lifetime. Pull humanity up, take the high road and look at the aerial view. Peace on Earth now, not later.”
I’ve always loved Carlos Santana’s music, and now I have a new respect for him as a human being. I’m gonna go put on his greatest hits CD and smile as I listen.
