Billionaire to billionaire: Carlos Slim cuts ties with Donald Trump
Business Review USA ^ | 7/2/14 | Rebecca Castrejon

Posted on 07/02/2015 10:02:03 AM PDT by jimbo123

The richest businessman in Mexico, Carlos Slim, has cut ties with Donald Trump after the latter offended Mexicans during his speech announcing his run for the presidency of the United States.

The magnates were going to launch a television mega project with Larry King, named Ora TV, which would be a producing company financed by America Movil. The partnership is over as of June 29 after Trump carried on offending the neighboring country.

Slim’s spokesperson, and son-in-law, Arturo Elias, stated: “Working with someone that narrow-minded was not going to work out.” He added that the comments were racist, especially when he said that Mexico sends narco-traffickers, rapists and murderers to America.

There is an unforgiveable sin in the USA. It’s not murder, rape or terrorism. It’s SAYING something that the rules of PC forbid.

" He added that the comments were racist, especially when he said that Mexico sends narco-traffickers, rapists and murderers to America."

Looks like reality must be racist.

I don’t imagine many US industrialists would act the same way if the shoe was on the other foot but I guess it just goes with being the US.

Apparently so, according to Carlos Slim's son-in-law. (You just know that kid got his job through hard work and merit)

Is a sad day when Americans like Trump do not show full allegiance to Mexico and it’s people and society. /

Carlos Slim? That sounds like a poorly made up name in a cheap romance novel.

Carlos is an Obamaphone pimp who makes millions from all of the illegals who have received a free Obamaphone and free service paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Where would Donald Trump be without state provided tax breaks and federal funding?

Trump was narrow minded before, and you didn't mind the color of his money then.

Trump's comments can;t be racist, as Trump and Hispanics are both of the same race--Caucasian.

As far as the last comment, what part of that is untrue?

Yeah, caucasian. Well, anyone left in Mexico is.

The indians that once lived in Mexico, they are your neighbors now. They'll be standing next to you in the voting booth come 2016.

I don't see anyone from any state or federal government agency doing anything to restrict Trump's right to free speech.

Hey Carlos, Mexicans ARE narcotraffickers, rapists and murderers. He should know that. The drug traffickers, drug lords, drug gangs in Mexico have been committing some of the most horrendous murders known to man over the past two decades.
