Donald Trump abruptly cancels Q&A with Hispanic Chamber of Commerce | Fox News Latino

Quote:
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump abruptly pulled out Friday of a question-and-answer session at the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce scheduled for Oct. 15, citing his unwillingness to abide by the terms and conditions of the appearance, the USHCC said.


The USHCC said in a statement that the group refused to change the format of its forum by excluding any issues or topics, or granting any immunity from objective scrutiny of his policies. As a result, Trump – who, according to the USHCC, had agreed numerous times to attend the session – reversed his position and decided not participate in the forum.
Awww por lil baby Donny can't take the heat

How is Trump supposed to be a leader if he can't even handle a little question and answer session?

What is so “abrupt” about it? The event is two weeks away. You make it look like it was this afternoon. BTW, do Hispanic do business differently?

Even more than that. They refused to do business with him. They hurt him where it hurts the most, his wallet.

They probably didn't want him to assist this event.

LOL that was a private meeting with one person the CEO Frank Palomarez. Trump was begging him to use his Doral FL resort for their conventions like the Chamber has done in the past. Palomarez said absolutely not.

Trump was not wanted, he probably didn't want to be there either.

Hispanic Chamber CEO Addresses Trump Controversy - Latino USA

Quote:
Last week, Buzzfeed’s Adrian Carrasquillo reported from a USHCC Houston meeting that several members did not agree with a USHCC decision to host Trump at an October 8th presidential forum—the end result of the September 1 meeting Trump had with Palomarez. “I don’t see any reason why any credible Latino organization or leader would give Trump the time of day, much less a forum to speak to the Hispanic community,” one local chamber chairman told Carrasquillo

Fox News Latino - LOL. A bunch of angry nattering Jorge Ramos clones interrogating him. Don't blame Trump for ditching that engagement.

Notice they forgot to add this to their article:

Speaking of USHCC's president Javier Palomarez, Hicks said, “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.”

Always 2 sides to every story.

Thought as much. Don't blame Trump for not wanting to attend an event where a bunch of vultures are waiting to descend on you.

Good for Trump.

I wouldn't trust those Barrio Aztecas either.
