Willie Nelson on Trump: ‘I’d smoke one with anybody’

Willie Nelson says he doesn’t “have anything personally against” Donald Trump, and would even light up with the GOP presidential front-runner.

“Oh, I’d smoke one with anybody,” the longtime country crooner and marijuana legalization activist tells CNN’s Brooke Baldwin in an interview from his tour bus posted Thursday.

The 82-year-old singing legend, who was honored this week in Washington with the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize, added, “But I don’t have anything personally against Donald. I think he’s a great hustler. And as a brother hustler, I wish him well.”

“You know, he’s a great salesman. Whether that’ll make a good president or not, I don’t know.”

But Nelson’s take on the Syrian refugee crisis differs greatly from Trump’s stance. While Trump has said he feels “totally bad” for the refugees, he has expressed reluctance in permitting them entry into the United States.

“I don’t care about refugees — bring them on in,” Nelson told Baldwin. “I don’t care. I don’t care about borders.”

When the CNN correspondent noted that many governors would disagree, Nelson said of barring refugees, “Absolutely, it’s wrong. It’s what our big Statue of Liberty says, ‘Come on in.’”
