U.S. presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit on Tuesday against Univision over the Spanish-language TV network's decision to end its contract to broadcast the Miss USA pageant, which is co-owned by Trump.
Univision said last week it would not air the July 12 pageant because of what it called insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants made by Trump when he announced he was running for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.
The 19-page lawsuit accuses Univision of a "thinly veiled attempt" to stifle Trump's freedom of speech in order to boost Democratic frontrunner Hilary Clinton. The network's principal owner, Haim Saban, is a Clinton fundraiser, according to the lawsuit.
What the HELL does un-presidential look like these days!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Our side ALWAYS takes the high road and LOSES!!!!!
I believe he said he is going to sue NBC as well.
It's Free Speech at its best!!
I think he also understands that normal Americans really resent the way the alphabet networks keep their thumbs on the scales for leftists in all politics. Anybody who is an enemy of (especially NBC) is a favorite of conservatives.
I think either he is acting like a fool or making a mockery of us.
I think Trump will win, and I’ll enjoy following it....but has he bothered to mention either of the nation threatening Supreme Court rulings from last week....or is it all about him?
Trump may win big against Univision, but he is going to look petty and un-Presidential in the eyes of the majority of voters.

Mule Muffins!!! Only in the eyes of wimps and wusses, who are afraid of their own shadow, will he look petty. Americans are ready for someone with balls who will not roll over for the liberal, left-wing nutcases.
That you, Walter?
Not me though.
I don’t think nbc is breaking a contract. they are smart enough to fallow there contract to the letter
Prove Mexico encourages illegal immigrants and charge back taxes for decades of all those western union transfers.
That should cover a good chunk of the wall
Your sort of prissy, pinky-in-the-air sensibilities are exactly why fags now own the military, marriage, and bakeries across the country, and Mexicans own the southwest. We need street fighters, not angry old ladies in pink tu-tu’s cluck-clucking about the Marquis de Queensbury rules.

Yes, sure. And The Donald, by attacking Univision, will have written off an even larger percentage of the Hispanic vote than the GOP normally manages.
Nearly everyone commenting has the same “winning” attitude as Trump...screw the Hispanics....
That strategy cost us California about 20 years ago which might be the real reason things have gone badly for the GOP since.
Meanwhile, Trump has illustrated exactly why his foreign policy will probably be even worse than Obama’s and that’s saying something.

Total, absolute rubbish!
If another network will pick up the pageant, the ratings may be the best in years b/c of all this!
“I think he’ll win big here.”
And take the beauty pageant to another network.
