NBC is severing ties to Donald Trump after the presidential candidate and professional assclown called Mexican immigrants “rapists,” and other dumb racist things.
We have two thoughts.
1) Yes.
2) What took you so long.
NBC said it will no longer carry the Trump-produced Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Nor will he return to the long-running reality show “The Celebrity Apprentice” as host, a role Trump already said he would give up because of his presidential bid.
“Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” NBC said in a statement. “At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.”
NBC’s move comes on the heels of a fight that broke out last week between Trump and Univision. The Spanish-language giant pulled the plug on its planned telecast of the Miss USA pageant after Trump’s statements earlier this month about Mexican immigrants. In the news conference announcing his bid for the GOP presidential nomination, Trump asserted that many immigrants coming across the border are “rapists” and bringing in drugs.
Hey, know the difference between a working-poor Mexican farm laborer/nanny/carpenter/cleaning lady, and Donald Trump? Trump can’t hold down a job.
Trump says he’ll sue. Load up your popcorn.GIF, it’s gonna be quite a trollfight between him and NBC.
