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."

Sure seems to shake up some "FReepers" to!
Trump is doing that, more than I can say for any other politician in recent history.
Did you see Hillary on TV today? The wicked witch of the west.
“Can’t take the heat then get out of the kitchen.”
That’s the problem with Republicans, none left in the kitchen. Trump has staying power.
If it’s possible, this new hysteria is even more ridiculous than the Confederate Flag hysteria.
But you’ll never go broke betting on ever bigger and more hysterical histrionics from the Left and the Near Left.
If they're breeching a contract you surly can....that's what deposits are for, troll.
I haven’t viewed ESPN since the end of football season. will only return to catch highlights of the games who football season begins again.
Why do Americans, of which Trump is one, no longer have the right of free speech?
..........................
We have free speech. As long as we say what we’re told we can say.
Not if this is his reaction so soon in the campaign. The media are looking for him to lose his cool again and again. He's helping them.
Well, the first two are inconsequential to me and Mrs. Sequoyah and I cut up the Macy’s card last night... just don’t need to shop there anymore. There are plenty of other choices just as good or better.
Ah so~
This is not the same type of free speech that I became familiar with in another country named America.
I am not sure what the name of this place is that I dwell in now.
Pro football sucks precisely because of espnis and their sycophantic meddling. The culture they espouse permeates the sport...
No, deposits are to protect the venue against loss resulting from the renter's breach. The non-breaching party is entitled to be made whole, but is not entitled to a windfall.
The venue may or may not have a duty to try to mitigate its damages (depends on what state you're in), but if the venue DOES mitigate its damages, they are not entitled to the windfall of keeping both deposits.
Go back to law school, troll.
Trump is winning.
Pray America is waking
I’ll give you a hint: 57 states.
**** “More class on display by our future president. He should take off his shoe and pound the podium.” *****
It would be great Theater and Trump could probably pull it off and you would still not “GET IT”
TT
They want to be PC to appease all the Lefties at corporate. Screw the Commies.
“Not if this is his reaction so soon in the campaign.’
You are looking at the headline rather than what Trump wrote.
It was just matter-of-fact. There was no blasting.
Better to have The Donald as the Candidate than as a Perot Third Party
