Exclusive–Donald Trump: Univision Targeting Me on Behalf of Mexican Gov’t, Trying to ‘Silence’ Me
Breitbart ^ | 25 Jun 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 06/25/2015 11:33:27 AM PDT by mandaladon

Republican presidential candidate and real estate magnate Donald Trump tells Breitbart News exclusively that he has no plans whatsoever to back down in the face of Univision—on behalf of the Mexican government—targeting him after he’s exposed trade deals and immigration problems that benefit Mexico and harm the United States.

“The Mexican government is putting tremendous pressure on Univision and there are plenty of others—lobbyists and special interests—putting tremendous pressure on Univision to break their fully signed and fully effective contract with the Miss Universe Organization because I’ve exposed the tremendously bad trade deals that the United States is so incompetently making with Mexico and also because of the fact that I’ve exposed some of the terrible things that happen on the southern border,” Trump said in his first interview, which came with Breitbart News on Thursday, in response to the news that under pressure from Mexican officials, Univision has announced it will end its plans to carry the Miss Universe pageants. Trump is a co-owner of the pageant organization.

“One of the reasons that I’m resonating with the people of the United States is that I’m willing to expose this and this is why our country is losing so much money on our trade deals with Mexico and other countries,” Trump said. “So this is what is happening: I have a fully signed contract, and they don’t want me to talk badly about the trade deals because doing that they’re not going to be able to continue to rip off the United States.”

On Thursday morning, the Wrap reported that Univision is ceasing all ties with Trump’s Miss Universe organization.

You get more desperate with every post. All in your lame effort to defend a liberal.

Donald Trump's lame campaign will one day be just a distant memory, somewhat forgotten as has been that of similar jokers of the likes of Al Sharpton. But what won't be forgotten are those like you who advocated for the liberal in this conservative forum. Think about that.

Have a nice day D1.

You evidently think it’s desperate to note that you went to one of the nation’s leading Liberally biased newspapers to back your premise that people of Mexican heritage are too stupid to recognize illegal activity and want it stopped.

Of course you seem to think going to the Liberally biased newspaper to back a false premise, wasn’t desperate.

I’m not backing Trump for the presidency. I am backing the policies he just hawked in his announcement.

I haven’t seen one place where you have praised his comments.

Perhaps you’d like to link me to one.

I don’t praise liberals pretending to be conservatives. Why would I? Unlike many here, you included, I haven’t fallen for his ruse.

Interesting, meanwhile Hannity keeps interviewing Jeb. We should start shunning these people. It is lopsided.

Nobody asked you to vote for him.

Nobody asked you to praise any of his other activity.

I asked you if you’ve said one nice thing about what he was supporting.

You either opted not to link me to it, or it doesn’t exist.

So you tell me. Do you support his views on illegal immigration, a border wall, and reasoned trade policies?

So far you haven’t said you did. Interesting...

Okay he supports McConnell.

Link me to where I have supported McConnell or Trump supporting McConnell.

Do you support over 100 million Mexican, Central American, or South American new U.S. residents in under 15 years or not?

Are you lame enough to think the McConnell issue is bigger than Immigration and Trade?

Evidently so. Once again, you’re priorities are back asswords.

“..Testosterone. ...”

True that. It comes from haveing “F*** You Money”. And he’s got PLENTY of it.

As for Ted Cruz - who I am whole-heartedly supporting and will WRITE IN his name if it comes to it - I think he’s got plenty of it, but does the more sly in-your-face responses to them - which drives the left nuts. They don’t - can’t - get under his skin.

Love watching him manipulate the mediots. It’s refreshing.

lol! He supports McConnell for Speaker?!

The man is in his 60s, wants to be president of these United States, and he doesn't know there is not a speaker in the senate?

Getting back to the original point, he has absolutely ZERO political knowledge or experience and is going to make a complete fool of himself in the debates. With Trump on the stage, they should host them at the Improv.

Seriously D1, I cannot understand how anyone could be serious about this tool. He is a liberal first and foremost, and he is a political infant with a penchant for putting his foot in his mouth. That is far from a winning combination. But hey, if that does it for you, ignore the FACT that he said he "probably identifies more as a democRAT" and put a Trump sticker on your car. lol!

All that and not one link where you support Trump’s comments on illegal immigration and trade.

You’re seriously confused.

Trump doesn’t understand the U. S. Senate doesn’t have a speaker. What’s more you’re convinced nobody will ever tell him.

All this about McConnell, but not one word about the points Trump made on illegal immigration and trade.

Yup. Two different styles for sure. It’s been so long since we had an alpha in a position of power. Look how people are basically trained to go weak kneed every time someone even hints at talking back to a lib. When Cruz does with his wit or Trump just goes full metal the leg tingling begins.

It’s really pathetic how easily many just forgot Reagan and “They counted on America to be passive. They counted wrong.” And then following up on it. And he wasn’t trying to be John Wayne. He simply said what needed saying.

I repeat, I don't care what a liberal says while trying to convince conservatives to vote for him, he is still a liberal. That is my response regarding the liberal Donald Trump's lame comments about immigration or trade. I haven't bought into his ruse. You do remember me saying that, don't you?

And you can ignore my point that he is a political infant and proved it less than one year ago by saying he hoped McConnell would be speaker of the senate. But in his own words he validated my point. When it comes to politics the man is clueless.

If Bill Clinton voiced support for a border wall, ending illegal immigration, repatriation, and trade policies that were written to be best for the United States over foreign nations, would he be wrong?

Fact is, he would be right. I would address him as being a wing nut, but correct on the matters at hand.

I have said a number of times that Trump is a big problem, but on these matters he is right.

You can’t do that. Very strange when you supposedly agree on these issues.

Bill Clinton said such things in a thinly veiled attempt at pretending to be a conservative just to get my vote I would call him out as a fraud just as I am doing with Trump.

As I said, I have not been fooled by Trump's ruse. I'm surprised you have.

This has been swell D1, but you're not going to change my mind nor me you. You can have last word if you'd like but I'm moving on.

Enjoy what's left of your day.

Cheers.

The first word of your response should have been an “IF”, because Clinton never proposed these things.

If he had I would remember it and agreeing with him.

During the Clinton years, I actually did take note of a very few good comments he made. I did point out on the forum that he was right when he said them.

Nowhere have I claimed that Trump was a great Candidate.

Nowhere have you claimed he was right to say these things.

I have criticized him.

You have not agreed with his policy statements.

You tell me which of us stuck with our principles here.

No worries D1, no apologies necessary. We can disagree. I know we agree on one thing, we need to defeat Hillary. :-)
