Golf bodies jointly tell Trump he's not 'right' on immigration comments
Yahoo! Sports' Devil Ball Golf Blog ^ | July 1, 2015 | Ryan Ballengee

Univision. NBCUniversal. Macy's. They've all severed ties with 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump over remarks he made about immigration and Mexicans. The two broadcast powers have refused to air the Miss Universe pageant, which Trump partially owns, on July 12, and Mexican officials affiliated with the outdated pageant have said they won't send a representative to the event.

Trump has responded in-kind with harsh remarks, particularly through Twitter, setting ablaze any potential future relationship with these companies.

However, while Trump has been battling on multiple fronts, he believed he has the backing of the golf world.

“I’ve had tremendous support from the golf world, because they all know I’m right,” Trump said to GolfWorld's Tim Rosaforte. “I’ve been great to golf. I’ve been investing while everybody else was fleeing.”(continued)

So it's official? These companies are in favor of illegal immigration, rape and smuggling?

What other crimes are big on their hit list?

Trump has been good to the world of golf:

The Trump Organization operates many golf courses and resorts in the United States and around the world.[58] On February 11, 2014, it was announced that Trump had purchased Doonbeg Golf Club in the Republic of Ireland. It was confirmed that Doonbeg Golf Club would be renamed Trump International Golf Links, Ireland.[59] In 2006, Trump bought the Menie estate in Balmedie, Aberdeenshire, Scotland creating a golf resort.[60] In April 2014, Trump purchased the Turnberry hotel and golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, which is a regular fixture in the Open Championship rota.[61][62] In June 2015, Trump's appeal objecting to an offshore windfarm (Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm) within sight of the golf links was denied.[63]

They've done the wrong thing here. It's a shame.

Big Government, Big Business all love illegal immigration.

Period. Full stop. End of story.

Back when this was a "debatable" issue, you would regularly hear and see stories in the media that mentioned CRIMES that were being committed. And if the perp was an illegal alien, the news would mention that fact.

Not anymore.

Truly. Trump supports Trannies in pageants. What could be more hip and up to date than that?

I love watching them eat their own. Because they get all emotional and let things slip that people notice.

Bingo! The golf bodies just want to keep lower maintenance costs.

People who are more sympathetic to illegal drug runners, rapists and economic opportunists should be boycotted. Patriots need to stand up to them.

Not “right”? Can anyone tell me anything he said that was not right? Does anyone really think that Mexico sends us their “best and brightest” among the illegals?

Well, on the bright side, I never shop at Macy’s anyway as they sell the same merchandise as other stores but at higher prices.

As for the NBC family of stations, of the three major networks, NBC has the worst TV shows of the three. Then we have PMSNBC which has the most biased left wing dingbats on the air.

So unfortunately, based upon my long time shopping and TV viewing habits, I will be unable to quit any of these enterprises as I have not been a customer.

I’ve listened to Trump at least twice on this, and the part that says illegals had huge numbers of criminals in the mix was direct. He did balance it by saying, there are ‘some’ good people in there, too.

So, I really have no problem with what he said. And he didn’t bring up diseases, education, welfare, etc., at the time.

He favors border control. So do I.

We finally found a way to keep them home. Trump is like Mexican kryptonite.
