Billionaire and 2016 GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign says there are “more genuine and productive ways” to communicate with America’s Hispanic community than going through and empowering the pro-amnesty U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (USHCC).
Trump’s campaign team comments come as Trump will bypass a question-and-answer session hosted by the USHCC on Oct. 8—and will instead be speaking directly to Americans at a campaign rally in Nevada, where he expects to have a “capacity crowd.” This comes after the USHCC spokesman attacked Trump in an interview with Politico on Thursday—and after the group asked Trump for tens of thousands, perhaps millions, of dollars in a fee. “Donald J. Trump today announced he will not be participating in the October 8th USHCC (United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce) Q&A, as requested by its President and CEO Javier Palomarez,” a Trump spokesperson said in an email.
Mr. Trump will be speaking to a capacity crowd at a campaign rally in Nevada on that date. Additionally, Mr. Palomarez continues to leverage the national media attention surrounding Mr. Trump to benefit his organization and exploit Mr. Trump to enlist additional support and increase interest and revenue in his coalition including asking Mr. Trump to join his chamber for a fee amounting to between $25,000 and $2 million dollars, which Mr. Trump refused to do. Mr. Trump remains committed to reaching out to the Hispanic Community in more genuine and productive ways as he continues to share his vision to Make America Great Again.

Smart move Trump! This so-called "question-and-answer" session would have been an ambush anyway - after they took your money! Unbelievable.
A set up by bush, perhaps?
They were probably going to bring in Megyn Kelly to ask questions.
I agree. Just crazy. $2 million dollars so you can get insulted.
Trump’s just too smart to be fleeced and then suckered into an ambush.
Go Trump!!!
Go Cruz!!!
Very well could be.
I know it is a fantasy, but I wonder what blatantly racist organizations like the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. the African American Chamber of Commerce, the Asian Chamber of Commerce or any of the others would say and do if somehow some way Trump is the Republican nominee and would draw 25%-30% of that group’s vote.
I think they would soil their britches.
I know it is a fantasy, but I can dream can’t I?
Good. I was worried Trump was wasting time at the Hispanic Chamber.
They made a mistake by not tricking Trump to turn up at the event.
Shaking down DJT seems like a bad idea.
He’s been building in NYC for decades.
He can smell them coming.
And he’s not the type to consider it ‘playing ball’ in the Washington parlance.
Speaking of playing ball, I wonder if that’s the hidden message behind Mr. Will’s purported love of baseball. Maybe it’s a not so subtle metaphor. Is GFW the bag man?
It’s late, I need rest. This is what happens when I let my mind wander...
I spoke with his campaign last week and suggested the following:
In several large cities, and large mean there are lots of unemployed minorities, set up Trump workshops that will teach the techniques to get a job, speak proper English, learn English for those who don’t speak it, and help arrange small business loans so entrepreneurs can reach their dreams and jobs can be created in areas of high unemployment. Perhaps the Trump organization has a share of the equity. It will involve police participation that will hopefully convince minorities to cooperate with police. That is the only way their communities will prosper.
For those who came here legally, there will be the hope of good jobs for them and their families. For blacks who have been put out of work because of cheap illegal labor, their will be more hope for the future.
How does Trump get minority votes? Jobs, jobs, jobs.
“Smart move Trump! This so-called “question-and-answer” session would have been an ambush anyway - after they took your money! Unbelievable. “
You can call this Club for Growth II. All these “organizations” are trying to shake down Trump. Donald didn’t get where he is today making these kinds of “investments.” Who’s next Rainbow Push? Jesse would probably like some of that “cracker cash.”
“They were probably going to bring in Megyn Kelly to ask questions.”
Nah, note a chance! They would have brought in the Head Beaner from Univision. (The guy Trump ejected from one of his press conferences, Whorehay Ramos)
Sounds like the same racket used by the “Justice Brothers” - hat tip to Rush - where Sharpton and Jackson ‘hold up’ big business for contributions to their fraudulent groups to guarantee ‘peace’, meaning no protests by their paid rent-a-mobs.
You can’t practice extortion on the Trump, Hispanic CoC. He’s seen it all.
