hough other companies and organizations are cutting ties with Donald Trump following his inflammatory comments about Mexican immigrants, the golf world is continuing to do business with the Republican presidential candidate.

NBC, Univision and Macy's have cut ties with the real estate mogul following his comments, but the PGA of America, the LPGA, the USGA and the PGA Tour will go forward with their previously scheduled plans to host tournaments on his courses.

The Mexicans are not sending their best people to invade us. They don’t need to.

In fact Mexico’s interests are best served by invading America with poorly educated and/or criminally inclined people

Trump told the truth.

Something the other clowns on the clown bus are afraid to do.

Yes, he did and they seem to neglect the other part of his speech,in which he said - “not all.” People are insane.

I’m sure NBC will be happy to drop their coverage and revenues of pro golf, on principle, for FOX to pick up the slack. /sarc

Trump just slugged NBC in the stomach yet again!

Though other companies and organizations are cutting ties with Donald Trump...

This must really stick in the craw of the parent organization of La Opinion. (the Los Angeles Times)

Yep, they've been traitors to the U. S. for decades.

Pravda on the Pacific can't go down fast enough for me.

The little people are getting handled, in the universe of NBC, Macys and Serta.

The ruling classes golf, and don’t need the low brow drama dished out to the masses.

Update on the LA Opinion comment I made with regard to the Los Angeles Times owning it. The Times Mirror company did own 50% of it starting in 1990, but when the Times merged with the Chicago Paper, LA Opinion purchased back the company.

The Times is no longer the parent organization.

From Wikipedia:

History

The paper was first founded and published on September 16, 1926 by Ignacio E. Lozano, Sr.. He emigrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas in 1908 where Lozano first founded a Spanish language daily newspaper known as La Prensa in 1913.

With the increase in the Mexican population Los Angeles experienced during the 1920s, Lozano believed he had a strong base for a Spanish newspaper in the growing city and founded La Opinión on September 16 to coincide with Mexico’s Independence Day. The Lozano family retained control over both La Prensa and La Opinion until 1959 when La Prensa was sold.

In its early existence La Opinión consisted primarily of news from Mexico to accommodate the reading preferences of its audience, made up in large part by recently emigrated Mexicans. La Opinión was one of the few newspapers to provide comprehensive coverage of the deportations and repatriations of Mexicans during the 1930s as well as the Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940s.

In 1990, 50% ownership of the paper was sold to the Times Mirror Company, which merged with the Tribune Company in 2000.[4] In 2004, Impremedia bought Tribune Company out and regained full control over La Opinión.[2]

In September of 2014, they switched to a tabloid format.[5]

Another win for Donald. The USGA and LPGA could move their events anywhere and no one would notice - yet they said no. As for the PGA Tour - there are no other sites that can handle a WGC event in South Florida other than PGA National (and that’s obviously spoken for). Plenty of great golf courses - none that can handle spectators.

His comments were only controversial to people who have a problem with the truth.
