On Monday, NBC released a statement announcing it was severing its business ties with Donald Trump following his recent remarks stating Mexican immigrants were "rapists" who carry drugs into the United States.
The network will no longer be airing the real estate mogul's Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Trump, who earlier this month descended from an escalator and announced he was making a bid for the White House, stepped down as host from the reality show in order to run for president.
Just last week, the Spanish-language television network Univision also announced it was cutting ties with Trump due to the "insulting remarks." Since then, Trump has threatened to sue the company. On Friday, he even publicly posted a Univision reporter's personal phone number in retaliation to the network's announcement.

I imagine this is no surprise to Trump, and I know I’m relishing the consternation of NBC.
We can’t support telling the truth, as anyone who watches our news programming knows.
Another link from CNN Money on the subject.

I gotta say I give The Donald a lot of credit for speaking his mind on this issue and saying what more than half the country knows to be true. There will always be a small percentage that think open borders are good thing and we should welcome all the derelicts another country wants to get rid of. Maybe we can trade derelicts...
That is a great and horrible loss to quality television. I shall not miss the show as I never considered it or Trump worth watching.
So NBC is pro rapist and pro foreign invaders. Yep!
What about Celebrity Apprentice?
I only started watching that this past season since my friend was on it... even then it still wasn't such a thrilling show.
Anyway, I hope Trump bans all NBC folks from all his golf courses and properties.
I have never seen even one if his show so I couldn’t care less but I would imagine this would be upsetting to at least some of his fan girls.
Another mob rule tactic to throw elections. If the candidate doesn’t kiss PC-butt, boycott, sabotage, intimidate, marginalize. “Free country” is long gone. Don’t confuse the Borg with the facts.
A Mexican illegal alien killed a sportss broadcaster last week in OKC..the national media didnt report this, I wonder how NBC would feel if an illegal alien killed a member of their family
bttt
Truth hurts, NBC and Univision. They’d just laugh if it weren’t true.
if anything, he has a good amusement factor going for him.
Another breach of contract suit for Mr. Trump.
Maybe TheBlazeTV would like to carry the swimsuit competition?
Trump’s head will explode...
Trump will not likely take his dismissal from NBC lying down. I look forward to his responses and in particular to see who he pummels.
He’s one polarizing SOB.
Reminds me of Limbaugh in the 1990s.
It will come down to mere mention of his name will cause ‘discomfort’.
They'd announce that they deserved it, and ask "why do they hate us?"
That's not likely.
Glenn Beck Says Trump Is 'The Biggest Flaming [Ass] That You Could Possibly Imagine'
...and now on to the Weather Channel which doesn’t talk about the weather.
