Principles and truth should mean more than money. If another country were behaving like Mexico then they also should be called out for it. His remarks were mainly directed at the illegal aliens coming here from Mexico.

Even though every thing that Donald Trump said was true and was a fact well documented , as the Mexican government helps all the people who are criminals get to the USA where they come and live ....The Liberal machine used it to undermine Trump in His Campaign for President and called him a racist for saying these things and boycotted Him ..... You got to be careful what you say in a campaign as negative bashing no matter what it is true or not is a dead end

Trump doesn't even bother me as a minority, most my buddies hate him and think he is racist. I am think he is still a smart businessman

To all the empty nay-sayers, you don't have to like his hair, or his decorating taste, or even his personality, in order to be convinced he'd make a great president.
Well what does he have to convince me he'd make a great president? Because he certainly hasn't.

Anybody who acts like such a spoiled child that he bans the employees of a company from his businesses out of spite has no business being the leader of the free world. Can you imagine what someone who displays that level of immaturity could do if he had the power to start a war???

The author of "The Narcissist Next Door" uses Trump as his patient zero.

I suppose Trump would have sued him, but I doubt he reads many books.

You said it! How many times does anyone think Trump can insult world leaders and just anyone he pleases with the type remarks he is currently making? I'm talking about calling other people "stupid," "not worthy to even shine his shoes," and such tripe as this. It's really disgusting to me. This guy is just a rich jerk.

This is exactly what I was telling my brother yesterday. Does Trump have any 'advisers' even though the guy had no chance EVER to become president? Obviously he wants to do something about illegal immigration. Fine. Say instead: I want to do something about illegal immigration (and BTW something has to be done but it won't- this is for another discussion). He could have made a simple and generic statement about illegal immigration. He obviously did not realize the backlash his inappropriate statements would have on him economically and otherwise. As most of you know already Macy's dropped his clothesline today. There will be more doors shutting on Trump. Any remaining 'buddies' will not want to associate with a 'racist'. Yeah, he's screwed.

Lastly, in response to Trump's moronic statement that Mexicans bring in drugs. Americans love to get high. If this is supposed to be the greatest country on God's green earth why do so many Americans want to 'escape' life by getting high. If the USA didn't have a drug problem the Mexicans wouldn't bring in the drugs. Why? There wouldn't be a market for it. Supply and demand. If the Mexicans don't bring the crap in someone else will. As long as Americans want to get high the drugs will keep coming and coming and coming.

According to CNN this guy has a good case, it is essentially breach of contract. Unision/NBC broke their contract with Donald Trump.

Why do you think Macy's, NBC, or any other business collaborating with Trump, are distancing themselves because of his racist remarks? Maybe it has more to do with his political posturing and they want to proactively mitigate damages before he alienates more than half their customers. If they stay the course with him, they may gain the approval of the far right and lose everyone else.
