Thank you

So basicly he is accusing the Mexican government of sending Mexican criminals to the US.

I can see why this would offend people, he could of worded a lot better. However he is accusing another country of doing a bad thing, but hes not saying 'because they are Mexicans they are bad. He is not being racist, but may come across as insulting.

Did he prove that the mexican government is behind this? Did he offer anything? Or are we just trusting him on this? I would think most illegal immigrants from Mexico come to the US for economic, or personal reasons (family). Not as part of a Mexican government conspiracy to empty their jails, or something.

If he wants to say something like that, he better make damn sure he can prove it.

EDIT: To me it reads more like fear-mongering to try and gain momentum for his wall obsession. His running mate should be Humpty Dumpty.

It is also racist because it isn't at all true.

Stop and think for a moment. He's not making a hypothetical. We have actual immigrants actually immigrating to the US. He is talking about them. And he's saying they are predominantly drug dealers, criminals and rapists. This isn't something that "may come across as insulting" because of indelicate wording.

Threads like these always root out shit posters.
Was he always like this or is this a recent thing? Racist prick that is

He was roasted about his relationship with "the blacks" at the correspondence dinner. Trump's true colors came out during the Obama birth certificate nonsense?
 
I mean overreaction to the whole thing, countries will drop? here in México people don't really care what he says, we are not that sensible.

It really bothers me the hypocrisy, here people are not too fond of immigrants either, the goverment deports more people than the US and if you think the border patrol in Arizona and Texas are bad, things in Chiapas are way way way worse, and nobody cares.

It bothers me that people are so easy to jump with intolerance against intolerants like is somehow better, and if someone is "offended" then heads must roll.

Trump can be a moron and say stupid things, but its not just about him, people like Tim Hunt or anyone else that are committing "thought crimes" shouldn't have their jobs/careers destroyed, only for dumb staments that influence nobody.

Instead of just ridiculing these people, now we are giving them validation, they are "dangerous people" and we need to isolate them.

As a Mexican living in the United States, let me inform you that living in Mexico and hearing racist shit from an uninformed, rich individual from a different country is different from living in the United States and hearing racist shit from an uninformed, rich individual in that same country. I wouldn't expect you to be offended at his disparaging remarks about immigrants consider you're not an immigrant.

You're the majority in your home country. You're the minority in this one, and people in power like to remind you of that again and again.

And yes, Mexico is fucked up with its own immigration "policies" (would be a compliment to call them that) of its own. That really has zero to do with Trump's remarks. It's not the same situation, nor is it the same geographic region.
 
This clown is currently polling well enough to be included in GOP debates, btw; the current plan is for many debates to just invite the top ten candidates who poll the highest. I'd imagine the republican party isn't thrilled about this.

Doesn't help that 9 out of 15 candidates are polling below the margin of error (2%)

The scariest part is that he will tower over every other slapdick candidate at those debates and people will eat it up.
 
Every race/ethnicity has an Uncle Ruckus.

GameGuru59 got banned, wanna fill his position?

You guys spoke too soon.

he said that good people come from mexico to.

I dont know maybe there are criminals coming from mexico illegally across the boarder in which case his statement is true and not racist, Just a fact.

I actually wish the mods let this one stay for the day. He was entertaining while he lasted.
 
I fought long and hard to immigrate my wife from Mexico into this country. Trump can go fuck himself. I did it the legal way, but I have sympathy for all types. I understand what it requires, what it entails and all you have to go through to make it happen. It's so goddamn difficult and heart wrenching. I can't tell you how many times we both cried over the many hiccups getting this shit through. Can only imagine what my great grandparents went through on Ellis Island.

NBC was right to drop him, fuck him. He has no leg to stand on. Should just go live in his own private island nation and fuck off.

People just don't get it unless you've been through it. It's so goddamn hard, and ours was fairly straight forward. It's also pretty goddamn expensive for the average joe like myself.

Funny thing Slim its not well liked in México, he made his money from a a very convenient deal with the government, and offers overprice and bad quality services in what can only could be considered, till very recently at least, a monopoly.





Nice, insults and threats.

The difference is that he's fanning tensions between not only Mexicans, but anyone who is Hispanic, with Whites who are frustrated for whatever reason and wanting to put the blame on someone else.

Was I personally offended by what he said? No, but I understand the damage a dumbass like Trump can do just for his personal gain.

As far as NBC breaking ties, it's a business decision and they have a damn right to do it. It's not like the dude is going to suffer.
 
So glad he got dropped. The only way to reach people like this is to take their money away. Maybe he will realize what a racist asshole he is now. Probbaly not though.
 
I still do not understand Trump's strategy in all of this, I really don't get it

Right? Doesn't this guy have advisors? Has he really surrounded himself with people who think what he's doing is a good idea? You've gotta figure there's a plan other than actually wanting to be president....

But man I can't wait to watch some debates. Go rewatch the 2011 Presidential Correspondence speech with Obama talking about Trump...Very funny.

He probably does have advisors and I bet they warned him not to say that or maybe he just free styled it. More likely his ego/arrogance made him not care what his advisors suggested
 
Since he made the statements about rapists I've always wondered.

They are sending people that have lots of problems. They are bringing those problems to us. They are bringing drugs and they are bringing crime and their rapists, and some are good people,...

Did he say "they're rapists" or "their rapists"?
 
Good day for the right too

Not everyone on the right is Sean Hannity
As a republican I agree.

These past few days have been great.


I'm as liberal as they come, but when my parents stood beside me register as a voter they insisted I fill in the 'R' and I haven't been arsed to change it.

Ohhhhh I'm not liberal but I don't let religion blind my voting or ideals in rights for everyone.
 
This guy is the biggest prick ever.

It amazes me that the celebrities that come in contact with him would rather tolerate him rather than roast him for the ignorant shit he says. Thank goodness NBC has done this, because they are human, but this guy talking as if people of a difference race who works, if not more than him, to leave their country and work for their own here is doing such a bad service to society as if he has contributed that much more is disgusting. He's as subhuman as they come.
 

Carlos Slim also "fires" trump

Carlos Slim scraps project with Donald Trump after Mexico insults


A television company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim has cancelled a project with real estate developer and TV personality Donald Trump after his comments insulting Mexicans, Slim's spokesman said on Monday.

This is the third company to cut ties with Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for the November 2016 presidential election. NBC said earlier on Monday that it would no longer air the "Miss USA" and "Miss Universe" pageants due to his comments. Spanish-language broadcaster Univision also said on Thursday it would not air the "Miss USA" pageant.

Ora TV, a production company co-founded by Slim and TV personality Larry King and funded by America Movil, cancelled a program it was working on with some of Trump's companies, Slim's spokesman and son-in-law Arturo Elias said.

"His statement was totally out of line...working with someone so closed-minded was not going to work," Elias said, adding that the comments were racist.

Trump, earlier this month, described migrants from Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists.

Telecoms magnate Slim is the world's second-richest man, with a net worth of around $71.1 billion, according to Forbes. Trump is at number 405 on the list, worth $4.1 billion.

The Financial Times first reported the cancellation of the project earlier on Monday.

Televisa joins too:
Grupo Televisa SAB severed ties with Donald Trump after he labeled Mexican immigrants as rapists and drug dealers and then refused to back down from the comments.

The world’s largest Spanish-language media company followed NBC and Univision Communications Inc. in ending its relationship with the businessman and U.S. presidential candidate. Televisa said it was “unacceptable” to have any commercial ties with Miss Universe or any other Trump-related companies.

“Mr. Trump hasn’t demonstrated understanding or respect toward Mexican migrants and has offended the entire Mexican population,” Televisa said in an e-mailed statement on Monday. “Televisa isn’t indifferent to these declarations and energetically condemns all forms of discrimination, racism and xenophobia.”

“Mr. Trump...has offended the entire Mexican population.”
Televisa

The company, which also owns the contest to select the Mexican equivalent of Miss USA, said it won’t send a representative to Miss Universe.

The move extends the damage to Trump’s media ventures in Mexico, where Televisa has broadcast the billionaire real-estate investor’s Miss Universe pageant. NBCUniversal, which owns NBC and the Spanish-language Telemundo in the U.S., ended its relationship with Trump earlier on Monday, after he derided Mexican immigrants during a speech announcing his presidential campaign. Univision, the largest U.S. Spanish-language broadcaster, last week canceled its telecast of next month’s Miss USA pageant, citing Trump’s “recent, insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants.”
