GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision after it terminated its contract to carry the Miss USA pageant, scheduled for July 12.
In a news release, Trump’s team announced:
Under the contract, Univision is required to broadcast the pageant live on television in Spanish. While Univision claims its decision came solely in response to comments by Mr. Trump during a June 16, 2015 campaign speech announcing his candidacy for President of the United States, the decision was, in reality, a politically motivated attempt to suppress Mr. Trump’s freedom of speech under the First Amendment as he begins to campaign for the nation’s presidency.
Before his company ended the contract, a Univision official reportedly apologized to Trump, saying he felt ashamed of what he called the company’s poor decision.
“Aside from this conversation, the only written notice received by Mr. Trump to date has been in the form of a press release Univision widely distributed to the media,” states Trump’s press release.
Nothing that I stated was different from what I have been saying for many years. I want strong borders, and I do not support or condone illegal immigration. There is a high level of crime occurring in this country due to unchecked illegal immigration. This is a major security issue for the United States. Additionally, the terrible trade deals our government is routinely entering into with Mexico are causing great financial harm to our country. We are losing a huge number of jobs, manufacturing opportunities and money due to poorly negotiated trade deals, a fact that undisputable. That won’t happen if I become president— this disturbing trend will end and it will end quickly.

There you go. The Democrat Party new campaign slogan: Those who use truth will be attacked and shunned.
This is big dollar players. MSM/politicians vs Trump. He’s now the little guy. They want him quieted. This is how they play.

Mexican contestants: Are all the contestants from Mexico.
If only one contestant would come from Mexico, I am not sure why Univision would punish all the other non-Mexican contestants by canceling the entire tv contest.
and some free golf in Doral I hear a couple of memberships are available now.
My lawn guy owns 3 houses and has a really nice truck.
Just saying, Cruz isn't playing the press's game either.
Yep. Neither side wants to go to trial over this. All that's left is to negotiate the payment for going away.
Are contestants for the Miss USA contest from Mexico? Is that your question?
Trump makes a fool of himself and you all go apesht. Wonder what he’ll do next?
What was the date of the interview? I’ll see if I can find it online.
Only a liberal would believe that Trump is making a fool of himself.
Oh that's real deep thinking. Takes about as much thought as accepting anything that comes out of Trump's mouth as Gospel.
Trump is wrong about some things, but is right about this issue. It doesn’t take a deep thinker to recognize that fact.
So does mine, but he has a Green Card.
>>>Actually very little of that is true. Lawn service was NEVER a decent paying “career” job for adults - unless you OWNED the company<<<
That quote wasn’t from me, unless I have Memory issues like Hillary. Where am I again?
Mine is American born.
