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'm guessing his actual words were nothing like this.
I just heard an ad during the break on my local radio station that carries Rush that NewsMaxTV will carry an interview with Trump tonight wherein he blasts Hillary.
Maybe some Fox channel will pick it up.
“if anything, he has a good amusement factor going for him.”
Sideshow Don
It made about 2 seconds of news on the west coast.
And illegal alien also killed the Director of A Christmas Story....And his son. Drunk as a skunk, head on.
Someone who is no longer on NBC is someone I never watched to begin with.
You would think the ratings would be really increased since his announcement but Fox probably has room for only one blowhard.
The way things went last week makes me wonder if in about ten years there will be a porno competition in these pageants.

What this really means is that they have dumped anyone who is affiliated with the GOP. It’s a warning shot to anyone who may have thoughts of leaning right at all.
Who does NBC have that leans right? It’s just their extreme PC and actually the threat of PC which all large corporations are under.
No, he didn't say that about Mexican immigrants.
He said it about Mexican illegal aliens, who crossed into the United States illegally.
They usually do so with a load of drugs on their backs because the smugglers like to do a twofer: smuggle people AND drugs at the same time.
Why pay a mule when you can charge a guy to carry your load for you?
As for rape, in Mexico that's called "courting" because a lot of the illegals are from the rural highlands where it's still a few minutes out of the Stone Age...the Macho Man just clubs the girl and takes what he wants. To them, what's the fuss? Just a guy gettin' what he needs.
Not a huge trump fan. I like Trumps honesty but he is just another crony capitalist...so I couldn’t vote for him, at least in a primary situation
But Glenn Beck alienate me in so many ways. Cry me a river Glenn, then shut up and go away
Fox has Trump on every Monday morning. Now I believe they have limited his exposure do to election laws.
“Hes one polarizing SOB.”
Can you name ONE leader, or person, who stood up who was not polarizing? I think that this will help Trump out in the election, and cost NBC some money.
Probably will help Trump, for him any publicity is good publicity. Everyone has low expectations of him anyway.
“Everyone has low expectations of him anyway.”
Why is he No. 2 in New Hampshire? Why are the elites, who use to love him, court him, all of a sudden disdainful?
Second in NH among 20 and first in disapproval. Not a good start.
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
They do indeed.
No one, but it’s a threat to all, to not even think about it.
