NBCUniversal to Donald Trump: You're Fired!


Finally NBCUniversal drop this fool.

After his rant against the Latino community, NBCUniversal said, "Bye Felicia"

TIME reports
NBC will no longer be the home of the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, which Trump produces, and Trump has already stepped down from running his reality show The Apprentice to run for president. “At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values,” the network said in a statement, NBC News reports. “Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump.”

During his presidential announcement speech earlier this month, Trump called the U.S. “a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems” while speaking about immigration. “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 us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

A representative for Trump did not immediately respond to TIME’s request for comment.
I'm glad NBC stood their ground. They didn't lose anything, but they've gain a lot respect for this.
