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."

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.

Mexican Government may have promised to make them whole.

he is NO DOUBT a social liberal

tell me which issue I should support him on

Besides I am NOT a single issue voter. Trump probably gets a 9 out of 100 on the conservative meter

Principle is sticking up for yourself which is what he is doing. Not backing down like a coward.

Let me ask you what 9 out of that 100 are the most important right now? Any guesses?

Illegal immigration will flood this nation with over 100 million foreigners in under 15 years.

That spells the end of our nation.

Not important enough for you?

That’s pretty much what he said. I heard him and he said nothing childish. But if you like wimps you have the whole rest of the GOP field to choose from.

Trump is the P.T. Barnum of the present time. This is just about his “brand” exposure. Nothing else. Follow the money. It works almost every time.

....”I hope Trump ends up owning those un-American, anti-American scum”....

Of course he sued.....LOLOL....now we see how he’ll play against those who think they can play in the big boys club.

I say good on him...for Univision “playing politics”....

This had nothing to do with Mexican “feelings”....it’s completely political.

Good post! Trumps certainly within his rights....regardless if any like how he delivers what he says.

I rather like the fact he’s pitching that ball back at them....people in the entertainment industry somehow believe they’re above the law. Perhaps Trump will show them otherwise.

“Looking anything but Presidential”

Seems he fights for take, so when he says he will fight for America he has far more credibility than the limp wristed “Get alone to move along” types we have now.

Trump has a number of good ideas on trade(especially regarding China). Others as well. But he has no chance of winning any political office. Illegal immigration has just been sanctioned forever by the Republican leadership, so this country is probably finished in your predicted time frame.

Thank CAWW.

As I have said, I do have problems with Trump. I’m certainly not going to trash the guy at this stage of the game when he’s the only guy with the right idea on immigration and trade.

And frankly, it causes me to re-evaluate people who want to shut him up, or shout him down.

What is all this vitriolic trash-talk from supposed Conservatives?

You address him as problematic, to be sure, but you don’t try to politically destroy him at this point.

What’s really going on here?

Trump being Trump, egotistical, vindictive

Suddenly Free Republic has people attacking candidates who speak out against Univision.

Very clever Geron.

“.people in the entertainment industry somehow believe they’re above the law.”

That is because historically, they have been.
