Donald Trump: I'm Suing Univision for Hundreds Of Millions Over Miss USA
TMZ ^ | 25 June 2015 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 06/25/2015 11:55:49 AM PDT by Steely Tom

Donald Trump has a vision for Univision ... it involves a courtroom, a jury and a bank account that will be bled dry.

Trump tells TMZ, he will sue Univision for "hundreds of millions of dollars" for breaching what he says is a binding, 5 year deal to air the Miss USA pageant.

The Donald says Univision had no legal right to back out of the deal Thursday, based on his comments about Mexico and Mexicans, saying many of them who come here are drug dealers and rapists.

Trump tells us, the contract, which was signed in January of this year, is iron-clad. He also says Univision became immediately apologetic after pulling the plug, telling him they were backed against a wall and pleading with him not to talk about Mexico anymore or to at least soften his view.

The candidate says, "I love the Mexican people, but I'm running for President and our country comes first."

And, as for Cristian de la Fuente, the "Devious Maids" star who says he's backing out of hosting the pageant, Trump tells us, "We never even signed the guy. After the Miss USA people saw him they were unimpressed."

Well then ... you like Trump.

We'd better face it ... the guy is gonn'a be headstrong in the debates and WILL reverberate with Americans looking for someone that talks like he means it.

Reagan was a straight talker, too

but he will force the debate to shine a bright light on the irrelevant, the weak, the double-talking, and insincere.

More than one can say about GOP candidates and incumbents, Donald never ducks an issue.

He should have said “Univision is wrong and we will go to court to keep to the terms of the contract”

Instead he gets up there and acts like an 11-year old.

I hear a Trump-it sound. The Donald has a lot of the ‘old school’ left in him from era’s past. Slam ‘em good DT.

Okay, then go vote for someone who doesn’t plan on stopping illegal immigration, building a wall on our border, or stopping trade deals that destroy U. S. infrastructure.

Just don’t drop by Conservative forums to whine about what they don’t do when elected.

Trump doesn’t plan to do any of that. Trump is a lefty celebutard who is running as a distraction.

I can tell you’ve never had a company.

Since Miss USA is all about marketing and press its essential that they issue a statement. To allow Univision to make the only public statements would be a disaster.

I don’t like trump but at least he’s standing up for America. Very few other people seem to be.

Why even bring up the “would have been” host. It was childish and stupid.

Trump being Trump is going to make Univision pay for their illegal activity. Good for him. If he has a binding contract they cannot get out of it.

I am loving this guy. He has one thing that the GOP leadership lacks, a spine.

Yeah... okay then tell that to Univision. Thanks in advance.

I’m always amused to watch folks trash certain issues for decades, then try to take a person down politically who actually voices agreement by trashing those issues.

Of course the only conclusion, is that those people never really cared about those issues in the first place.

So go vote for someone who doesn’t care about those issues. And tell yourself you’re who you’ve been trying to pass yourself off as, because some of us won’t be buying it.
