Linda Ronstadt has zero love for Donald Trump.
In a new interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN, the legendary singer slammed the U.S. president for his treatment of immigrants from Mexico.

Ronstadt brought up politics because of the strain she says the current administration has put on her family.
“Now, I have to be careful because we’ve had so much taken away from us by this administration that I’m not willing to let them take my family relationships away,” she said. “My family — the parts that are Republican were fairly rational Republicans. We don’t have that in our current White House.”
The 73-year-old then went on to describe “great parallels” between Trump and Adolf Hitler.
“By the time he got established, he put his own people in place and stacked the courts and did what he had to do to consolidate his power,” she explained. “And, we got Hitler and he destroyed Germany, he destroyed centuries of intellectual history forward and backward.”
Cooper responded, “I think a lot of people, though, would be surprised to hear comparisons between what happened then and now.”
“If you read the history, you won’t be surprised. It’s exactly the same,” Ronstadt contended. “Find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced, and I said it’s gonna be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And, sure enough, that’s what he delivered, you know.”
