NBC said it would no longer air the annual “Miss USA” and “Miss Universe” pageants, which had been a joint venture between the company and Trump. Trump has said he is no longer appearing in the television show “The Apprentice.” NBC said “Celebrity Apprentice” will continue to go on without him.
“At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” NBC said in the statement.
Last week, Univision said that it was canceling its coverage of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Trump had portrayed some immigrants from Mexico as bringing drugs and crime to the country in his presidential kickoff speech.
Trump, you׳re fired!
What a bunch of babies – we live in a world of political correctness where nobody can handle the truth.
The democratic media does not believe in freedom of speech. Why are there border controls? Trump said the truth.

El not so Sharpton is still welcome on NBC but Trump not
NBC aka the mouth piece of Obama and his administration.
If this ignorant blowhard had made stereotypical and derogatory remarks about Jews, all the hypocrites defending him here would be waxing indignant over his buffoonish anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, when it comes to generalizing about people of color, it’s hard to top the seemingly ingrained bigotry of heimishe Yidden. Heck, they even have disparaging things to say about Jews of color. I know this from personal experience, having worked for several years in a government ministry office in Israel where almost every day we had to look into complaints of Askenazi yeshivas discriminating in the most blatant ways ways against Sephardi youngsters. Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Moshe rabbeinu, Dovod HaMelech, etc., all were several shades darker than the typical European Jew with his blonde or gingi hair, blue eyes and pale skin. I wonder how our forefathers would react to the insular ignorance of our present day Askenazi Yidden who seem to think the Bnei Yisroel who left Egypt looked like Russians or Poles. I once had a rosh yeshiva tell me in all seriousness that the Jews were always a white-skinned people in order to stand apart from the surrounding darker people of the Middle East!
TO ALL OF THE “EXPERTS REGARDING DONALD TRUMP”: In 2007, when Obama first announced that he was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 2008, he was mocked by many in the media and was even written off in the Black community; many stated that a Black candidate would never have a chance. Now, we are hearing the same prediction of gloom from many “experts” in the media, as well as many on this site. I personally feel that Trump is just as qualified to run for President, as are many of the schlubs, who are announced candidates for the office. Trump tells it like it is; granted, he may not always state the facts in the most diplomatic manner, but he tells it, as he sees it. Incidentally, Trump once paid off the mortgage of a frum mechanic who helped him, when his limo was stuck near Lakewood, NJ, when he was returning from Atlantic City. Also, he has a lot of frum Yidden who work for him, in his accounting department.
Donny Trump is a bigot and should be disqualified from running for office. And you wonder why Hispanic Americans don’t vote GOP?
The problem here is that Trump just plain lies too much. Yes, his point that we need to secure our borders and protect our economy from an influx of illegals is 100% correct. However, stating that the people who come here “have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists, and some I assume are good people”. What Trump doesn’t get is that US citizens are over 3 times as likely to commit violent crimes as illegals are.
I’m not arguing the point of security the border. I agree with him on that. But he makes up so much. Politifact shows 70% of the statements they’ve fact checked have been “false” or “pants on fire”.
Where is the incredible and unbelievable evidence Trump found proving that Obama was born in Kenya? He told us he HAS the irrefutable evidence. He held press conferences to tell us he HAS evidence. Where is it?
He claimed there are “no jobs” for people, but there are in fact 5.4 million open jobs right now… more than before the recession.
I expect politicians to stretch the truth… but nobody could seriously back a guy who just makes it up as he goes along… even Obama hasn’t sunk that low.
To #17 -Eli-What sort of experience did Obama have in negotiating with foreign governments, prior to becoming President? He was a “community activist” in Chicago, taught law school, was an unknown state Senator, and later a U.S. Senator, for a for a very brief time. On the other hand, Trump has decades of experience in negotiating business deals with overseas governments. Obama’s experience when he became President, was gornish. There are many people supporting Trump, including many Yidden. They should not be written off by you. The vast majority of the Republican candidates who are running are schlubs. Also, the lead contender for the Democratic nomination, has been accused by numerous retired Secret Service agents of cursing them, being abusive with them, and treating her staff, and even her husband, like dogs. I would not want someone with her abusive personality to be President.
