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!!

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".

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.

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.

Thread moved to political...
