Donald Trump Files a $500 Million Lawsuit Against Univision

U.S. presidential candidate and real estate mogul Donald Trump filed a $500 million lawsuit on Tuesday against Univision over the Spanish-language TV network's decision to end its contract to broadcast the Miss USA pageant, which is co-owned by Trump.

Univision said last week it would not air the July 12 pageant because of what it called insulting remarks about Mexican immigrants made by Trump when he announced he was running for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

The 19-page lawsuit accuses Univision of a "thinly veiled attempt" to stifle Trump's freedom of speech in order to boost Democratic frontrunner Hilary Clinton. The network's principal owner, Haim Saban, is a Clinton fundraiser, according to the lawsuit.

In reference to the illegals, Trump said what a million have said before him. And you have to show how he damaged the illegal cruds.

It's Free Speech at its best!!

I think he also understands that normal Americans really resent the way the alphabet networks keep their thumbs on the scales for leftists in all politics. Anybody who is an enemy of (especially NBC) is a favorite of conservatives.

I think Trump will win, and I’ll enjoy following it....but has he bothered to mention either of the nation threatening Supreme Court rulings from last week....or is it all about him?

Trump may win big against Univision, but he is going to look petty and un-Presidential in the eyes of the majority of voters.

Mule Muffins!!! Only in the eyes of wimps and wusses, who are afraid of their own shadow, will he look petty. Americans are ready for someone with balls who will not roll over for the liberal, left-wing nutcases.

Prove Mexico encourages illegal immigrants and charge back taxes for decades of all those western union transfers.

That should cover a good chunk of the wall

Your sort of prissy, pinky-in-the-air sensibilities are exactly why fags now own the military, marriage, and bakeries across the country, and Mexicans own the southwest. We need street fighters, not angry old ladies in pink tu-tu’s cluck-clucking about the Marquis de Queensbury rules.

Yes, sure. And The Donald, by attacking Univision, will have written off an even larger percentage of the Hispanic vote than the GOP normally manages.

Nearly everyone commenting has the same “winning” attitude as Trump...screw the Hispanics....

That strategy cost us California about 20 years ago which might be the real reason things have gone badly for the GOP since.

Meanwhile, Trump has illustrated exactly why his foreign policy will probably be even worse than Obama’s and that’s saying something.

If another network will pick up the pageant, the ratings may be the best in years b/c of all this!

Screw the Hispanics?
What planet have you been living on mate?
The Hispanics, especially the Mexicans have been screwing us for decades. Overwhelmingly, the Mexican Hispanics, like the blacks never vote Republican anyways, so why waste time pandering to them? That an alarmingly high percentage of Mexican illegals commit serous crimes is not in dispute. Trump should take the weasels at NBC to the cleaners.

“I think he’ll win big here.”

And take the beauty pageant to another network.
