Donald Trump published a photograph of a handwritten letter from Univision's Jorge Ramos on Friday that included the anchor's personal cellphone number, a move that is likely to inflame the recent tensions between the two parties.
In the letter, sent Thursday, Ramos asks if Trump will sit with him for an interview. Ramos then provides his cellphone number, in the event that Trump "would like to talk first over the phone." Trump published the photo to his personal Instagram account on Friday, noting that Univision was "begging" him for interviews even after publicly severing business ties with him.

“He doesn’t look or act masculine at all. He’s more Lindsay Lohan than John Wayne.”
Trump attended a military academy as part of his schooling before attending College at the Wharton School of Finance, very prestigious business school, where he did very well grade-wise.
When you wallow with hogs, you are a hog. I would not soil my reputation by fighting dirty, even if my opponent did. Never lower yourself to the level of others.
Honor & the respect of your peers is apparently unimportant to many people, a major reason this country is going to crap.
You mean Trump is not responding like a typical establishment republican by bending over and saying, “Thank-you Sir, may I have another”?
“And Trump employs tens of thousands of illegals, so he should know better.”
Prove it. Too bad Trump isn’t on this thread so he could sue you for defamation of character.
I’ve read the comments. Some here seem to think we should play by the “Queens Rules.” Really? Is that what they would use to fight a street thug off? “That’s not very nice. Please don’t attack me.” What a joke. I wasn’t thrilled at what Trump did, but the more I thought about it, the more I supported him. Fight fire with fire. The days of niceties are so over. The left has been doing the same for years now. Releasing name and addresses of gun owners, moving in a hateful Lefty to spy on the Palins. Yes, they have given out phone numbers before. Look what they did to the officer in Ferguson and Newt Gingrich!
If anyone thinks that a nice letter to Univision would have stopped them from their vicious attacks, they are certifiable. Seriously?
We need a fighter this time. Someone who is unafraid to stand up to enemies foreign and domestic. There is no longer time to play nice. It is do or die time.
No more weasely politicians like the ones who just sold us out on TPP for millions! They do play by the Queens Rules and just look where it has gotten us. If we do not
fight these enemies, we are done as a nation. The secret
of success in the Revolutionary War was due to mountain boys who didn’t play by the Queens rules. All those Brits in bright red uniforms, stretched across in lines is what defeated them. The boys behind trees took them out.
We have this one last chance to take DC, the media and the anti-America traitors down. Don’t blow it.
Could be that its God, not Satan, motivating Trump to speak the truth and stand up for America.
Maybe the devil is playing YOU ( HiTech RedNeck) like a violin.
What Ramos is facilitating is pure evil. Romans 12:9: Abhor that which is evil...
++++++++
I’ve been thinking that for a while now.
Thanks for putting it in words.
You’re upset over the phone number?
Where the hell is your outrage over the legally binding contract broken by Ramos and his cohorts?
I suspect there is something else in play Mister Da

Im looking forward to someone on the Left to do what they always do about their opponents, lie about them.
This time, I predict, if the lie is of a serious nature, the outcome will be different than all those times in the past.
Trump is going to take a bevy of $1,000 an hour lawyers after the liars and beat the ever lovin shit out of them.

So, you figure the Golden Rule doesn’t apply anymore; that in war & politics, anything goes, like cutting off heads, murdering women & children, using WMDs, lying, cheating, & stealing, as long as you win. Winning a war while losing your honor, decency, & self respect is not winning, it is losing.
That is ISIS thinking & about a low as you can go.
For your own sake, take an ethics class & read your Bible.
there is a time for war
you propose the continuation of the losing. That will not stand.
you have become the enemy by not fighting
I recall Dole and McCain conducted their presidential campaigns like gentlemen. They lost. Screw that. Playing nice while the other side brings out the brass knuckles is how you lose badly.
I recall Jesus not mincing words when he addressed the Pharisees as "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?, and responding to the desecration of the Temple by the money changers by chasing them out with a whip.
If you hear in one of your cities, which the LORD your God is giving you to live in, anyone saying that 13some worthless men have gone out from among you and have seduced the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (whom you have not known), 14then you shall investigate and search out and inquire thoroughly. If it is true and the matter established that this abomination has been done among you, 15you shall surely strike the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it and all that is in it and its cattle with the edge of the sword. 16Then you shall gather all its booty into the middle of its open square and burn the city and all its booty with fire as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God; and it shall be a ruin forever. It shall never be rebuilt. 17Nothing from that which is put under the ban shall cling to your hand, in order that the LORD may turn from His burning anger and show mercy to you, and have compassion on you and make you increase, just as He has sworn to your fathers, 18if you will listen to the voice of the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments which I am commanding you today, and doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.
How does a business dispute allow Trump to violate basic business ethics?
If you have a business dispute, how will you feel if your personal phone # is publicly published by your opponent? Is that how you do business?
Business disputes are more properly resolved by mutual agreement, mediation, or court.
There is something else in play here. Trump has assumed what is probably the greatest challenge of his career, it has created enormous stress, & that stress is causing tactical mistakes. His dispute with Ramos is a distraction he cannot afford to waste time on. In a mud fight, both participants get dirty. It will also give pause to possible future business associates & contributors - the man cannot be trusted to adhere to common courtesy.
No doubt Trump bellows long & loud when his phone # is leaked. What goes around, comes around. That does not make it right.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Seems a few FReepers don’t believe that. Sad for them.
We’ve just experienced 6+ years of a spiteful President. Is that what you want for 4-8 more years? I don’t.
Oh please!
That is such a crock - you can go to Walmart and get a prepaid phone with a new number in 10 minutes - and you can shoot out a text to friends and families and business associates that your number has changed.
People do that everyday.
Considering the way Univision has tried to character assassinate Trump by sending out a tweet depicting Trump with Roof, this is nothing. A punch in the face would have been more appropriate. The other side plays hardball all the time it’s about time we do the same - and beat them at it.
Just admit you disliked Trump before this and this is just an excuse for you to jump on him.
Trump fights to win! I am tired of the liberals playing by schoolyard rules and winning while we lose playing by Queensberry Rules. There is no such thing as a fair fight. You either win or lose, and you have no moral high road when you lose; you just shut up and go away.
Well the Republicans have proven to be completely untrustworthy also. Now.... to work on that 71 percent.
He also knows how to fight like a leftist. "Vindictive 12-year-old girl" nicely summarizes the Obama administration's governing philosophy, and with every major cultural institution now run by leftists, they are kicking conservative's butts right off the map.
