NBC has severed all ties with Donald Trump after his insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants.
"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the network said in a statement. "To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue."
During the speech where he announced his run for the presidency, Trump said, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best .... They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists."

“I remember reading how the NAZIs did the same thing in Germany to people who didn’t think as Hitler dictated.”
Which consisted of demagoguing an entire group of people, something that makes that analogy strange considering what Trump is saying about Mexicans.
You moron!!! How is TRUMP making money off running for President? Now he has lawsuits and Univision and NBC trying to destroy his business
IDIOTA!!!! NUMBSKULL!!!
I do not feel that Trump is a true conservative in any way, but his comments were not racist.
Yes ... hhhhjjjj ... Well?! ..... We're waiting ...........
I like to share cheese with my sister’s moose...
It wasn’t about Mexicans (without a qualifier)
It was about criminal illegal alien invading colonists who are Mexican.
It’s interesting that people that are sneaking into our country are called immigrants.
If that term is to be used, it should be preceded by “ILEGAL”
Once he announced for President they would have to remove him in any case, surely the Donald knew that, so why all the fuss?
Where’d it go?
It seems that hhhhjjjj was butthurt over the fact that Mexican criminals are coming here to commit crimes.
Perhaps he was one of those MS-13 or La Raza types that felt particularly stung by facts.
Maybe he needs to be found and deported.
It isn’t hard to go after Trump on legit stuff so there’s little need to go the ‘racist’ route. Which Trump isn’t. But then, I’m not shocked that a retread would resort to relying on leftist memes/terms/language. Plenty of supposedly conservative posters do it often. It’s just what liberals do.
Good! I love a good ZOT! :)
Very tasty.....
Heh...
But look at all the attention he's getting by doing it this way. He's a smart cookie, a smart negotiator and he never hides from the limelight.
