Donald Trump, derider of Mexican illegal immigrants, insulter of POWs and GOP front-runner, kicked journalist Jorge Ramos out of a press conference Tuesday evening.
The billionaire later allowed Ramos back into the press conference, where the two engaged in several lengthy exchanges that dominated the remainder of the event. But none of those exchanges provided the moment that will be repeated in endless loops on cable TV, shared on social media and discussed in Hispanic TV-watching households across the country.
The lasting image will be that of Ramos -- who serves as Univision's lead anchor and is effectively one of the (if not the) most powerful newsmen on Spanish-language TV -- being hustled out of the room after trying to ask Trump a question. Ramos, whose nightly newscast has been known to post ratings that top those of all three major English-language network news programs, has a history of holding presidential candidates very close to fire on issues he believes to be of deep concern to Latinos, such as immigration.

I have noticed that nobody on Univision nor in the Mexican national assembly looks anything like the illegal immigrants they send here.
“I hope he gets some public speaking training/experience from a good stand up comic ... like Carlin or even Williams.”
He could certainly use some polish, although not so much that he is no longer Trump. He has a presentation style reminiscent of Rodney Dangerfield. Each topic consists of two sentences, followed by what appears to be a new random thought. At the end, you realize it was all coherent, but you have to pay attention to maintain the thread of thought.
When the video goes viral, Trump will go up a % in the polls.
Proving Trumps’ plan will work...see how that works?
Seeing the whole thing; (not the media blips) it was wonderful t.v. and I hope to see more of it.
No other candidate nor politician in general would have done what Trump did.... This is worth 8-10 points easy.
“Megyn claims he must have realized what a big mistake that was, which is why he was allowed back in”.
She’s full of it. He kicked him out to prove a point. No one is going to take over his press conference, especially not someone with an agenda like the race-baiting Ramos. Can you imagine Jeb Bush having the balls to show a trouble-maker the door.
He let him back in because he’s a nice man and put up with any type of nonsense from reporters.
Univision is essentially a white’s-only station. You’ll find more diversity on a TV newscast in rural Nebraska.
“I watched CNN, which I rarely do, and surprisingly most of the talking heads said that the Univision guy Did not act like a journalist and Trump treated him fairly”.
Fox is the only network that will say Ramos was in the right.
“This country can’t afford to have such a pathetic, weak leader”
Bush is not going to be the next president.
You need to increase your Prozac dose.
Your hostile clinical depression due to your BTSD, Beserk Trump Derangement Syndrome is out of control.
Agreed. but that is putting it mildly. The guy was being an a..hole ... and like all a..holes, he was positioned out back.
Nick, you continue to be caraway by your inane hatred of Donald Trump. Just go away. And you don’t get it, as your comments here show.
Megyan is wrong. Here’s the full press conference
Here’s where Ramos comes back in.

A the end Trump asks Ramos how much is the lawsuit for - Trump vs Univision.
Its great. Trump wasn’t off balance at all.
I think by allowing him back in Trump was showing that he controlled him. Jorge had to slink back in like the little snake that he is. “You can take off your dunce cap and sit back down with the rest of the students now, Jorge. And the next time you want to chew gum in class you better bring enough for everyone.”
Did Trump actually order him to leave the room or order someone to escort him from the room? Or was he escorted out because he was causing a disturbance.
Mexico is not Spain...
Mark Levin said Trump told the security “go” because Ramos was being disruptive and not shutting up. Ramos was escorted out by security.
I have a selfie that I took in 1965.
Hahahahaha
