Looks like Univision is fed up with Trump and his racist comments..and will be cancelling Miss USA

Univision dumps Trump, cancels Miss USA over his comments about Mexicans - Jun. 25, 2015

This is pretty interesting because it's a pretty huge event.

I wonder which other business partners Trump will upset next!

Though not because he "upset" them, and more because being a candidate imposes certain restrictions, I understand his role in "The Apprentice" and his appearances on Fox are also in jeopardy.

Racists comments? He was just telling the truth about illegal aliens coming here from Mexico. How is the truth racist and why would anyone want to defend them from the truth? Why would Hispanic Americans be offended by hearing the truth about illegal aliens? It isn't about them.

Kinda sleazy for a Presidential candidate to even own the Miss Universe pageant. Figures it's Trump.

From what I've read Univision and Trump had a contract to air the program. I have no problem with Trump suing for performance under the contract, if they do in fact have a contract. You can't usually break a contract if you don't like someone or what they said.

Perhaps you didn't hear his speech? He basically insulted Hispanics not just "illegals" which the vast majority do not support "illegal immigration".

"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Trump says just "some" (he assumes) are good people but the majority are drug dealers and rapists. He also makes the idiotic statement that Mexico "sends" people to the US - like the Mexican government has checklist: "Rapist? Check, we'll put you on the next bus".
I'd be surprised if the contract didn't have a relevant out - like sports stars who can be fired for bad behavior. Two entertainers have also back out. Trump's pageant and Apprentice are also at risk of being hit with an advertising boycott.

I did hear his speech and he did not insult Hispanic Americans nor those here legally. His focus was on Mexicans here illegally. Sorry, but you are wrong. The majority of Hispanics from Mexican or Latino roots want amnesty for their illegal amigos and in their eyes anyone who objects is a racist.

In essence, Mexico does encourage their poor, uneducated and unskilled and criminals to come here illegally. Why do you think they cry every time the U.S. take steps to stop them? Why all the fuss about what is said about illegal aliens anyway? They are a detriment to our country in many ways and they had no respect for our immigration laws.

Well really, the most ridiculous part of this is that it was Trump (of all people) who said it. What would some cloistered billionaire know about goes on in everyday life in the USA? He's so far removed from all of that.
