Bye-Bye Trump
 

NBC has just fired Donald Trump including his Miss USA pageant and his Apprentice show, reportedly because of his racist remarks about Mexican immigrants since his announced presidential run

:police:I heard his speech, and I didn't hear any racist remarks about immigrants? He just said he would insist Mexico build the wall or we would cut off all TRADE with Mexico. Sounded good to me. Save the USA!!:BigApplause::BigApplause::BigApplause:

:22yikes:Like trump gives ???? What NBC does.

I don't know if that is true but if it were, what a shame. All those girls counting on the pageant and the jobs involved in producing The Apprentice don't seem to be a proper trade-off. It's downright silly. The man spoke his mind and he's being chastized? Gimme a break NBC, grow up!

Only because he strayed from the NBC party line and the current political agenda.

It is what you get when people speak openly without talking points and scripts.

Being released from NBC..... non significant event for Trump.

Shows the character of Trump and NBC - no?

I bet he prevents anyone from NBC from golfing on any of his golf courses as he did to Univision!

Maybe FOX will pick up the shows and replace The Simpsons!

Would love to see the look on Donald's face when NBC said "Donald Trump, you're fired".

Blustery folks like Trump also entitled to opinions
 

Read the Trump remarks. Did not see anything racist. Try to be more explicit when you try to slander someone.

And I quote from the horse's mouth...

"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best," Trump said on June 16 when announcing his candidacy for president. "They’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems. They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people, but I speak to border guards and they’re telling us what we’re getting."

Just guessing that NBC has a legal department that took a lawsuit by Trump into consideration before firing him. None of us know what is in Trump's contract.

The Reverend can say anything he wants to without getting fired by NBC. He still has his show. What hypocrisy!

He probably wanted out of the contract for better offer.:thumbup:

Generally, when you run for President you no longer stay emoloyed in media. A conflict of interest issue. Trump was going to part from NBC no matter what. Turns out he made it easy on himself and did it the Trump way.

Makes little difference as Trump has no chance whatsoever to get the Republican nomination for President. I'm not a fan of Trump.

Repubs just can't help themselves - they're basically all the same.

Insult 17% of the population then wonder why they can't win a presidential election. Not one republican came out and chastised Trump for his remarks, especially Jeb Bush, who is married to a Mexican woman.

My money is on trump. NBC stands behind lying Brian Williams but not behind someone who is telling it like it is. Trump probably employs more Mexicans than NBC does. I shall boycott nbc

Of all those Mexicans that Trump employs, what percentage do you believe are legal immigrants that have the real documentation to back it up? IF Trump's companies hire any illegal immigrants, shouldn't they be given huge fines and Trump - being the conglomerate head - be held legally responsible and given prison time?

Trump a smart businessman. All would be legal immigrants

I think he actually owns those shows. Don't think he can be "fired".

BS per usual!

And more BS.

Oh, gee whiz, I guess NBC will be plenty upset to lose you

Aw gee wiliker wiz......you missed the point ......AGAIN!

Get back down your curmudgeon troll hole. Your Gang of Six are not relevant.

:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:......

Can't wait to see Donald Trump and Governor Krispy Kreme on the debate stage together.

Christie: sit down and shut up

Trump: you're fired

Christie: it's none of your business

Just hoping that Christie can make the cut to make it on stage so we can see the two Jersey boys in action. Only a month to go until the first debate.

Ditto for the Clinton hide and seek show.

Speaking of hide and seek - whatever became of Fairina?

At one time she was polling all of 3%, next week she was at 1% ........

Don't underestimate Christie - in fact, I think he is headed for the White House.....

Gov. Krispy Kreme wants to be President so he can enjoy all the State dinners. With him as President, we sure would not have any anti-trans-fat legislation being signed into law!

So, where is the Destroying Angel of HP recently? Not a word from her in quite a while.

am very pleased that so many liberals seem to be relishing the spectacle of the debates, maybe they will actually watch and realize what good sense our candidates make!

Trump is from NY, not NJ. Calling Christie "Krispy Kreme" is indicative of the problem most voters have. Let's judge candidates by their ideas, not their size, not their hair or whether they wear pantsuits.

I will watch every minute of them. I wouldn't want to miss the best comedy shows of the year. These guys will be drooling all over themselves pandering to the redneck base.

You must be a regular viewer of MSNBC then.

I am not an NBC viewer and in fact find the alpahbetic stations NBC<CBS<ABC wanting but for a very few programs this is especially true for NBC Universal .

Now toDonald Trump. Trump told NBC he would no longer be doing the Apprentice show(I do not watch) and they became upset trying to work a deal. so he quit the show he wasn;t fired but the left can't stand the truth.

Univision puled out of their 5 year contract with the Miss America/Universe how that Trumps owns because of his "racist"remarks.
Univision and Huffington both published an article indicating 80% of the illegal alien women attempting to cross the border were being raped. Trump has filed a $500 million dollar suit against Univision for breach of contract and they are already trying to negotiate a deal.

Anyone trying to take Trump on is going to ride that tiger.

My take on Trump running for president from the beginning was of course his ego would like to see him elected president but the real reason he is in the race is to change the national conversation and he is the only one who can do that. With the liberal media refusal to offer balanced and honest news it is going to take a guy like Trump to offer honest conversation

People of all politicial persuasions should rejoice if we get an open and honest presidential because tis great ship, America, is listing too far port and we need to all start acting like grown ups because Greece just gave us a taste of our future if we don't. so those of you on this forum that continue with snide remarks better take control of your emotions and if you are able begin your analysis of what is happening or not happening to this nation.

We have had the weakest recovery from a recession in 70 years we are in debt up to our heads we no longer have the will to fight and we have poor foreign policy.

Personal Best Regards:

This post was all over the place without any direction at all.

Comical that some people think Trump could be an effective President because he is a tough businessman. In Washington, the President has to go by their rules and not boardroom style. Trump would be blown out of the water at every level.

The poster says Americans do not have the will to fight and we have poor foreign policy. The poor foreign policy IS because we were put in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and Vietnam TO fight when we had no business being there n the first place.

Totally disagree with your assessment of the previous poster's post. I followed it and understood his message loud and clear. I particularly agree with this part -

"My take on Trump running for president from the beginning was of course his ego would like to see him elected president but the real reason he is in the race is to change the national conversation and he is the only one who can do that. With the liberal media refusal to offer balanced and honest news it is going to take a guy like Trump to offer honest conversation."

Before logging on here today, I was thinking the exact same thing. Electable or not, Trump is not afraid to speak up and go against the grain. That type of courage is the only thing that will bring real conversation to the political table rather than partisan bickering which most of us have had enough of. The only better thing that could happen is if the Democratic party had the guts to present a similar non-political candidate that would have the courage to do the same.

Disclosure: Sorry for the grammar - haven't had my second cup of coffee yet this morning and in a rush to get out the door. Enjoy your day everyone!

While entitled to your own opinion it is obvious you have no understanding of the concept of leadership.
What is demonstrated by Washington is a politics, negotiated, crony, special interest, highest donor, what will get me re-elected mode of self centered actions.

A real leader does not need to know how or why the existing mode works to be effective. They will assess the execution and results, if any, attained. Promises kept; cash flow; profitability; planning (whether existent or not).
Where something or someone is not functioning as expected they will repair, remove or replace people and operations. Yes including career cronies taking up space and collecting benefits.

ANYONE ever involved in the rescuing of troubeled companies would have no problem identifying that which does not work effectively in Washington.....which would be most of it.

I will support a successful executive with a track record of performance improvement any day over any the career phony politicians.....ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DAY!!!!!!
