Donald Trump, You’re Fired!

After making incendiary remarks about Mexican immigrants during his laughable run for President of the United States, Donald Trump received an unexpected surprise from his bosses at NBC:  “YOU’RE FIRED!”

“When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. … When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with them. They are bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.”

On Monday, NBCUniversal informed Trump they were severing all business ties with him, including dumping his beauty pageants and removing him as host of “The Apprentice.”

“Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump,” the network said in a statement.  “To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC.  In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Apprentice on NBC, (due to his announced Republican candidacy for president).”

Initially, NBC attempted to distance itself from Trump’s remarks by saying it did not share his views. Soon after, Spanish network Univision announced it will no longer air Trump’s Miss USA pageant in Spanish, saying “respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.” Trump quickly responded by firing off a childish “I’m-Taking-My-Marbles-And-Go-Home” style letter to the network. However, their decision, combined with a Change.org petition of more than 200,000 signatures was more than enough to convince NBC it was time to cut Trump off permanently.

With Mexican-Americans rapidly becoming perhaps the most powerful voting block in America, anyone running for president understands they are the last group any candidate would want to insult. However, Donald Trump apparently missed that memo.  Although he’s a master at real estate, he’s lousy when it comes to words. If calling Mexicans rapists and killers wasn’t enough, Donald Trump took to a recent CNN interview to stick his foot in his mouth even further.

“Look, Mexico has not treated us well,” he told host Jake Tapper. “Mexico treats us as though we are stupid people, which of course our leaders are. I don’t blame Mexico. China is even worse.

“You force them (to build a border fence) because we give Mexico a fortune. Mexico makes a fortune because of us a wall is a tiny little peanut compared to that kind of money.

“I would do something very severe unless they contributed or gave us the money to build the wall. I’d build it; I’d build it very nicely. I’m very good at building things.”

As a self-employed billionaire real estate tycoon, Trump has enjoyed the ability to say and do practically anything. Now that he’s a public figure running for public office, he is learning the hard way that his words have consequences. Unfortunately (for him), his words may soon affect his wallet even further.

Not only has Donald Trump been forced out at NBC, a new MoveOn.org petition is calling for Macy’s to fire him as their spokesman, as well as drop his clothing collection and fragrance line from all its stores.

Donald Trump is a known clown, but not everyone is interested in his circus antics.
