After instituting legal proceedings against Univision for bailing on the broadcast of Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, Donald Trump indicated that he will do the same to NBC. According to Trump, his comments about the Mexican immigrants aren’t the real reason why NBC announced it’s cut off from the two pageants. As reported by Donald to the local media, “I’ve had the same rhetoric for years, you know that. I’ve been fighting border security and I’ve been fighting trade more than anybody else I fight trade and not only with Mexico, with China, with everybody.”
Asked with whom he spoke at NBC, Trump responded coyly, “I don’t want to say. It will come out in litigation.” He continued… “I have a signed contract for 5 years on the pageants they have no right to terminate,” He said, of Univision. “They didn’t even send me a letter, they terminated with a PR statement.” He blasted both networks for “abandoning” Miss USA competitors.
On being asked, if he regrets making the remark, Trump said, “It’s totally accurate. The border is a disaster, Bill. People are pouring in – and I mean illegal people, illegal immigrants, 300 and some odd thousand are in your state jails right now according to Homeland Security. I love Mexican people, I have a tremendous relationship. I also respect Mexico, but Mexico is doing a tremendous number against the United States – what they’re doing to us in trade. I’m not angry at Mexico because, frankly their representatives and leaders our smarter than ours. I’m angry at our country for having such bad negotiators and such bad leaders.”
