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."

Oh I disagree..do you GET IT?
Islam?!?!?!
Gyaaahhhh!
The companies dealt with Trump because they profited from the Trump name and management.
Trump may have been intemperate in his description of the Mexican illegal immigrants, but he was correct in his assessment of the problem these folks are bringing into this country. There is crime. There is murder. There are rapes, especially of the girls and women traveling over the border with them. There is disease. Trump was right. The Left doesn't want these open secrets out in public because they would have to admit their open borders polices are failures. So they attack the messenger. How convenient that he is also running for the GOP nomination for president.
Yes, Trump is winning.
There’s a *yuge* Silent Majority.
George Orwell was right:
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
The PC crowd are shamefully proving themselves to be PRO-ILLEGAL-ANTI-AMERICAN.
No. Trump wants to talk about illegal aliens.
Yep I do ... you are being played by the alphabet media and you think LIKE THEY DO so until you extract your cranium you will continue to reap and enjoy the benefits of GOPe and Obama for they enjoy your cranial location.
Have a nice life.
TT
I’m sorry but I speak only English. Could you have this translated?
LOL I tried and I agree with you.
Not only that, I wished he pull a Larry Flynt and off one million dollars to each and anyone who can dig up criminal dirt on any Rat.
If he has he wouldn’t tell us, but I hope he has.
Wow, so much idiocy in one line.
The Left is built on lies. So they cant debate. They can only shout down.
Wow, so much idiocy in one line.
You say "idiocy," I say "basic principles of contract law."
What state are you licensed to practice law in, anyway?
You say "idiocy," I say "basic principles of contract law."
Can you read or do you have to go to law school to understand simple English?
ESPN cancelled, negating their deposit, Trump securing another customer does not constitute a "windfall" but rather continues doing business.
You are completely mistaken.
If you break your contract to perform without just cause - you absolutely forfeit your deposit.
Tort Law 101
Hard to shop there when you know that they are for ILLEGAL(not legal immigration- nobody has a problem with legal immigrants).
What is so hard to understand about wanting to know who, and how many, people are coming into this country?
Do the the Macy's people leave their stores unlocked with doors open after closing time?
Are the Macy's people supporting the ILLEGAL (not legal) immigrant who murdered the young woman on the pier in San Francisco?
What exactly are they for regarding immigration? -Open borders?
How about free speech?
Do people -including Trump-Have a right to free speech?
If someone wants our borders secured -Does that make them a racist against hispanics?
I would like to see someone in the press -a so called "jounalist"(I know-no such thing exists), ask Macy's and the others boycotting Trump-these questions. (Never going to happen.)
Great point!
Tort law 101?
It’s a breach of contract case, not a tort.
