Real-estate magnate Donald Trump is out with a fiery new statement mocking the media for its coverage of his presidential campaign.
Trump's Tuesday statement focused on ESPN, which canceled an upcoming tournament at a Trump golf course, and NASCAR, which is moving an upcoming banquet from a Trump resort.
Both moves, the Republican businessman said, are not a big deal at all.
"The disassociation of ESPN and NASCAR with the Trump Organization was covered by the press in headlines all over the world as though it was a major setback for me. Really? What were the losses?" Trump asked.
He added that he would now be able to rent out space to new groups of people, boosting his profit margins, and that both ESPN and NASCAR would be losing their deposits.
Trump also extensively praised the properties the events were scheduled to take place at.
"One NASCAR banquet in a magnificent ballroom at Trump National Doral in Miami for which I will keep their very substantial deposit and rent the ballroom to someone else that night — in other words, two fees instead of one (NASCAR has already apologized to me)!" Trump exclaimed. "In the case of ESPN ... they lost a large deposit. I will now let people use the course on that day, receiving substantial additional greens fee income. Again, I get two fees instead of one."

Well said. Please, Trump Objectors in the MSM, please: just debate the MERITS of what Trump said rather than only calling him a racist.
I imagine it didn’t go well for Germans in 1939 in public to say the words “Der Fuhrer is morally wrong to exterminate the Jews.” Now in our own country they try to ruin you equally for telling the truth.
Liberal PC über alles.

I now view the ESPN, Macy’s, and NASCAR organizations very negatively.
They stand against our borders, language, and culture.
Well Said, Blue Jays!
The emotional prissy bed wetters are all atwitter. Too bad they can’t live up to the principles that made this country great. Instead they appease any mob that comes along so afraid that someone will call them names. In a long run they lose.

“Trump also extensively praised the properties the events were scheduled to take place at.”
What? This person actually is paid to write “...scheduled to take place at.”? Seriously?
