In his latest showdown, Donald Trump ordered Univision anchor Jorge Ramos out of a news conference Tuesday, telling him to “go back to Univision.”

Ramos, who like Trump is known for his confrontational style, didn’t back down until he was escorted out of the room by security. Eventually, Ramos was invited back, where he sparred with Trump over the Republican candidate’s immigration proposals.

Trump has had some high-profile tiffs with media figures recently, battling publicly with Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly, and on Tuesday with the network’s chairman, Roger Ailes.

But prodding Ramos, who has been called the Spanish-language Walter Cronkite, could prove dangerous for Trump, who thus far been something of a Teflon candidate. Here’s why:

Remember when journalists reported the news?

And if any “journalist” did this to obama - he/she would be labeled a racist with a lifetime ban from the profession.

Ramos is typical of all illegals. Laws and rules do not apply to them.

All Trump needs to do is make him “persona non grata” and ban him from all future press conferences. Problem solved.

They are interchangeable.

Ramos said he votes in both countries, he should be in prison in one of them at least

Jorge may just become the poster child for stricter border enforcement. Jorge is becoming Trumps foil, he is way out of his league.

Or use the jerk as a foil. He is not a match for Trump; and his pushy vulgarity is made to order for Trump’s style of hitting back.

Journalists are jokes. No one with half a brain puts any weight into what these morons have to say.

Trump’s biggest opponent isn’t the other candidates - not even Hillary. Its the media, who run interference

Jorge Ramos is not known in Latin American circles as being NON BIASED: His books talking up, and bragging on the countries of Cuba and Venezuela greatly distract from him being honest, using reason, and basing his slants on history. He has little objectivity in reporting the news. He has an AGENDA, and it has little to do with the founding fathers.
