NBC has cut ties with business mogul Donald Trump, whose show "The Apprentice" has aired on the network since 2004, over Trump's recent derogatory statements about immigrants.
According to a statement, the network is "ending its business relationship" with Trump, noting the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and "The Apprentice" will no longer air on NBC.
While announcing his candidacy in the 2016 GOP presidential primary race, Trump bashed Mexican immigrants, calling some "rapists."
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you," Trump said. "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."
Well good for NBC!
It is well past time that this bloviating asshole paid for the crap he says.
If he keeps this up by the time his campaign finally crashes and burns he will end up penniless and reviled by everybody.
Update: Get this, Trump is suggesting that NBC is doing this because they want him to do "The Apprentice" instead of running for President.
This guy's cognitive dissonance is absolutely unbelievable.
It was a dumb show anyway--not like NBC really went out on a limb here.
ReplyDeleteYour Fired!
DeleteFirst Sarah then Rump! Its the Palin curse kickin' in!!
Youbetcha!
He can always celebrate with a look a like pinata!

He ruined the Miss USA pageant. Who can forget that Miss whoever who couldn't answer a simple question? Dumb blond bimbo. They have never been rocket scientists, or even college material, but they used to be able to frame an answer to a simple history question.
DeleteWow! I'm impressed! Poor Univision tried to do the same thing by not airing his pageant and got sued, but I'm sure NBC is on solid ground. Poor Donald -- this is gonna hurt!!
ReplyDelete11:05, I didn't know he actually filed a suit against Univision! Do you have a link?
DeletePersonally, I don't believe it matters what that jackass says. He won't sue. He thinks he can sue successfully and win anywhere, but he's finding out that isn't the case in The British Isles.
And if he DID sue Univision, I want the popcorn concession! I would dearly love watching the face of the judge when rug head tries to explain that what he said WASN'T what he said! You know, like most repubes?
How wonderful, best news I've heard today.

Trump is nothing more than a rich buffoon. What a joke that an idiot like him is even allowed to consider himself to be presidential material. Of course, that goes for all the other GOP clowns, too.
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is how many rightwingers actually take him seriously. The comments on a lot of their sites are all like "he's a smart businessman, he tells it like it is, he has my vote." Lol.
DeleteBust open the bank books! That will bankrupt their enthusiasm for him!
DeleteI still suspect he's a Manchurian Democrat doing performance art.
DeleteNow he can sue NBC and their gay pride logo. And don't forget to ban anyone affiliated with NBC to your list of people who can't step foot on Trump properties. He's a seriously bigger douche than Sara and Bristol
ReplyDeleteI watch MSNBC sometimes, and now I'll refuse to ever enter a Trump-owned enterprise from now on. It should have occurred to me years ago.
Delete11:37, would you post a list of his holdings if you have one? It would be a great public service for those of us who agree with you.
DeleteThanks-Be-God.
ReplyDeleteDrump gives me the urge to hurl.
Drumpf was the original spelling until his grandfather changed it.
DeleteWow! Let's see how the GOP responds. Crickets or will they demand Trump publicly apologize?
ReplyDeleteThey are dead without the hispanic vote.
And the female vote...but you don;t see them hustling to reopen health clinics, or even saying they are not against contraception, do you? No, they think that their white male vote, along with the gerrymandering that got them back in Congress last year, is enough. They don't care about anyone else. Lip service only. But I bet Reince is not happy with the loudmouth.
Delete"I bet Reince is not happy with the loudmouth"
Delete***
WHICH ONE? They are ALL idiot 'loudmouths'
lol!
Actually, if he is serious about running, he would have to sever his ties with the network anyway. However, if this was just Trump grandstanding and self promoting, then he may regret his hate speech.
ReplyDeleteHe was probably planning to drop out of the GOP race before the fall tv season. The tv show is...was...a major source of income for him.
DeleteThere was a petition to NBC...I signed it this morning, when there were 250,000 on it..I don't think he thought this was coming.
Delete12:12-- Actually, you could have stopped with "I don't think he thought."
DeleteYeah
ReplyDeleteDonald Chump Trump can go to hell. Just because we may work for him at minimum wage doesn't mean he's our Savior and we are in love with him.
Sara Palin channel have some times slots open? She and the Donald make a cute couple
ReplyDeleteNo Donald Trump we are not indebted to you.
ReplyDeleteMore good news for us godless liberals. I can't take much more of this.
ReplyDeleteDonald ( dramatic pause) ........"You're Fired!"
ReplyDeleteHurrah for NBC! Good news just keeps on coming. hehehe
ReplyDeleteMr Trump if you are in need of a handjob go see your wife. Hispanics refuses to do that. Better yet, call Miss Wasilla Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteRadar calls out Bristol today for lying that she was never PAID to lecture about abstinence...while Radar shows records that she WAS paid.
ReplyDeletehttp://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/bristol-palin-paid-abstinence-speeches/
Yeah, that was weird of her. We ALL remember that $262,000 tax statement. I mean, didn't she use that to help pay for the AZ mansion that she hid out in after DWTS? And then put on the market..just like her Wasilla dump/er $500,000 mansion. The girl has no sense. None.
DeleteWow--bet Bristol is pleased to have gotten some attention from a gossip rag. That seems to be her highest ambition.
Deleterz715 • 2 hours ago
DeleteShe has turned into a self preserving habitual liar, not something you want to teach the two children whose lives you selfishly impacted being tossed around with visitation and legal fights and media crap.
She did not think about how any of this would hurt her children, she only cares about herself. Now the kids get tossed around between parents, the siblings are going to be confused why they each have a different Dad, and then see the tensions when she fights with either father or goes on a public media smear campaign again directed at the father of one of her children.
Her and her family call themselves Christians? The lying, deceiving, not practicing what she preaches?
Adding lying to this is not going to help her one bit.
She hurt her own platform and created her own circumstances and the ones left to deal with it, are the innocent children who have to go through broken homes.
"The girl has no sense. None."
DeleteWith a mother like SP, what the heck did you expect?
12:35 PM - and why the blog that bears her name is such a pathetic joke.

I Think, (not totally sure) that Radar online is part of the National Enquirer.
What is even more hypocritical is that at one point she dissed ex boyfriend and baby daddy when he was in a new relationship - now long since become a solid marriage - about not wanting her son Tripp to go to school with a "bunch of half siblings." So thanks to her, he'll be sharing a room with one (or likely more, eventually) in her house.
DeleteHe doesn't care about NBC. He's Huuuugggee. Huuugggeee. He's worth a gazillion dollars according to unnamed accounting firms. We know those accounting firms exist as much as the people he hired and sent to Hawaii to find the President's birth certificate. He is the original Paris Hilton, Kim Kardasian combined. Any publicity is good publicity. He is the guy whose ego led to the demise of the USFL back in the 80's, the guy who has declared bankruptcy how many times? And isn't declaring bankruptcy sort of a government program? He is a not a hypocrite, but a Hippocrite since he is such a HUUUUGGGEEE hypocrite.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Love your "hippocrite". May I use it? (I can think of more than a few additional deserving people....)
DeleteHuge is a factor with you! Dick issues?
Delete3:50: Apparently you haven't seen much of The Donald on tv....... he says that all the time. Ten minutes don't go buy without him reminding people of how Huuuugggeee and important he is.
DeleteI'm sure Donald will handle the news with his usual grace and good-will. (snerk)
ReplyDelete.....And the hits just keep on coming!!
ReplyDeleteYay! The good news just keeps on coming!! I'm giddy!
ReplyDeleteBut are you an @sshole? hahahaha
DeleteCouldn't resist...... :-)
12:10, Bristol should have used a$$hole instead, since she is little grifter jr. Keep on being racist/bigoted jerks Palins/Trump. People seem to be tired of your bullshit. hahaha.
Delete1210 are you an @sshole? Just askin!
DeleteHey Donald http://youtu.be/OZAt6NJWfWk
ReplyDeleteThis is the part where conservatives always whine about their free speech being violated. Despite the fact that the constitution doesn't say your boss has to keep employing you no matter what filth comes out of your mouth.
ReplyDelete$arah is famous for this. For example, when the Duck Dynasty jerks were in hot water for their anti-gay remarks, $arah bitched and moaned that their free speech was being violated
Though she was all for Martin Bashir getting fired when she didn't like what he said about her.
Typical conservative hypocrisy: you're entitled to free speech as long as you're saying something I agree with.
Sarah Palin do you think Donald Trump will leave his wife for you?
ReplyDeleteThink again.
YOU'RE fired, fucktard!
ReplyDeleteOff topic.

DeleteCrucifying Jesus On The Cross Of White Supremacy (All Together Podcast)
On this segment of All Together, I speak with Robert Wright Lee, IV, who is a southern white young man, close to the same age as Dylann Roof. He is a descendant of Robert E. Lee's, one of the most celebrated figures in Virginia and in the history of the Confederacy. Rev. Lee is a minister ordained in the Cooperative Baptist Convention and he recently wrote a piece in The Huffington Post called "Faith and the Confederate Flag" on dealing with his family's past.

Faith and the Confederate Flag
...As a Lee, I am sorry for my history. I am sorry that people were viewed and treated as property by my family. But more importantly I'm sorry that most of us have been shallow in our understanding. It's time for the people of South Carolina to take the flag down, because for all of us, it should be a faith issue.
...So as a Lee, whose history is dark, and as a Lee with whatever privilege that provides me, it's time to take down the flag and begin the long road to reconciliation that God offers us.

NASCAR Chairman: Ban Confederate Flag At Races
Calling the Confederate flag an "insensitive symbol" he personally finds offensive, NASCAR chairman Brian France said the sport will be aggressive in disassociating the symbol from its events.
"We want to go as far as we can to eliminate the presence of that flag," France told The Associated Press on Saturday. "I personally find it an offensive symbol, so there is no daylight how we feel about it and our sensitivity to others who feel the same way.
"We're working with the industry to see how far we can go to get that flag to be disassociated entirely from our events."

That was freaking hilarious, I love the dude that caught it on tape. They drive about as good as they spell.
DeleteTrump is getting his and it's a joy to see. Hurting him in the pocket book will get his attention!
ReplyDeleteSame for Sarah Palin!!
T. Rump dumped.

Major thanks to NBC!!!!

Stupid is as stupid does.
ReplyDeleteGuess DT thinks consequences apply to everyone but him.
Interesting to see what goes around comes around come bite him in the bank account.
HuffPo comment:
ReplyDelete"Hair Force One is down."
lmao
DeleteWonder if this will give him a bump in the polls with the immigrant-hating GOP base.
ReplyDeleteAbout the update....Trump was already signed to do the Apprentice. If he was really serious about the GOP nomination, he would have ended the NBC relationship before announcing his candidacy.
ReplyDeleteAnd, anyway, according to the AP, NBC is looking into still airing the show, minus Trump as host.
"And, anyway, according to the AP, NBC is looking into still airing the show, minus Trump as host."
DeleteYeah right. If he threatens to sue over reactions to his personal comments, you just KNOW the fool will threaten to sue to stop them airing "his" show.
Exactly right, 12:15. He can't be under contract to any network, if he is truly running. He states that he has to end his relationship with NBC, due to his stance-but, truth be told, he should have severed his contract before he announced his run. Obviously, he was not serious. Why is he not angry with NBC and all of their employees?
DeleteNotice how he sidestepped the question of HOW he would secure the borders?
There are rumors that his replacement will be Howard Stern (not joking!)
DeleteBut it was OK for him to air on NBC as a full on birther. Whatever made NBC drop this lying megalomaniac bigot - it's not because it gives a shit about his bigotry.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a great point!

ReplyDeleteDonald Trump is a shameless, lying, racist idiot. He manufactures his products in China, while claiming that they have taken our jobs and market away from us in this country. He told Americans that investigators he sent to Hawaii to find out if President Obama was born in this country, "were finding out lot of things, that Wolf Blitzer(CNN) would not believe, and he's going to reveal everything soon".
To date, Donald Trump the racist "birther" have never told us what he found out. Notice that, all his lies are patterned in that same form? This shameless racist idiot have made millions out of Mexicans and Latinos while defaming, attacking and condemning most of them as thieves, murderers and rapists. Do we not know that his fellow White Supremacists massacre, murder, rape, steal, kill law enforcements officers and cheat the government?
The only way to stop this racist idiot is to continue putting pressure on all his business affiliates to cut ties with him... Macy's, Ross. Target and every construction company that have ties with these racist, must be pressured to cut ties with him. Else, it would mean that they are in support of his racist diatribes.
MSNBC’s O’Donnell: Trump Doesn’t Have a Case Against NBC
ReplyDelete...No it won't. Networks can and do cancel shows whenever they choose. Trump's lawyers know that.

Thanks! What a nice break from the bloviated bombastic dipshit.
DeleteTrump, like Palin, is a stunted, juvenile, narcissistic, delusional, profoundly stupid, egomaniac who just keeps embarrassing himself. Needless to say, he's very popular on C4P.
ReplyDeleteOooohh BURN!!! Bet he didn't see THAT coming. I don't know what's happening but it looks as though America has collectively grown tired of our homegrown bullies and idiots.
ReplyDeleteI liken these reactions over the past few weeks to a saying my momma always says, "I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Enough is enough!"
Loving the new grown up acting America!
Now he will have more time to go to a Pizza Joint with the Palins. BWAHAHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteNow? Let us see who comes to his defense? and gets in his fancy dancy clown car.
ReplyDeleteI've read that it is much more preferable to be rich and anonymous than rich and famous. Donald Trump, and his fat mouth, certainly substantiates that one.
ReplyDeleteHe's being skewered on LOD's show and most other stations as well. He's ripped a page from the Palin Playbook. :Dan Tapper did an interview with him, and he asked him how his marriages were in any way "traditional" .... paraphrasing from memory here... "I worked 22 hours a day building my empire, and that takes a toll on a marriage.... etc etc ad nauseum" He meant what he said about Mexicans and he's getting Mexico to build a wall to Donald's specifications... and what a wall it'll be"
ReplyDelete"I'll sue univision, mark my words" "I'd have to step down from my show anyway, so it's NBC's loss, I'll be too busy running the country blah blah blah me me me......"
He's the GOP's biggest nightmare- that oil well of a sewer he calls mouth just blew a gasket and as long as there's an audience, he'll make it to the debates.
Good luck with that! Up next, Chris Christie...... cue up "duelling wackos" and pass the popcorn.
LOL.
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump....YOU'RE FIRED!
