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.

The network's principal owner, is a Clinton fundraiser, according to the lawsuit. No conflict there. ☺

Trump has top attorneys in his staff. Just fighting this alone will cost Univision a fortune.

They were hoping they could apologize their way out of this. That didn't work either.

I think he'll win big here.

A contract is a contract. You cannot just break it because you don’t like what somebody says. Get real. Trump will kick their azz in court. They thought he would cave.

Lean into it when you stick it in, Mr. Trump. Then twist.

Univision mgmt. was hoping that because Trump is running for president, he would be afraid to challenge them, for fear of alienating the Hispanic vote. Wrong! TD for Trump on this one.

The best thing sbout it is what a fool he makes himself out to be with each one of these parties. The downside is us working stiffs pick up the tab.

What about NBC? Is he suing NBC for dropping him yet?

Not that I’d want anything to do with something that clearly doesn’t want me.

He's looking for his jaw, which dropped to the floor.

Lol. I actually said in an earlier comment on another thread something along the lines that it was ironic that these scum will be funding Trump’s presidential campaign!

Huh?! Trump (or rather his A++ legal team) is almost certainly going to take them apart.

If Cruz is knocked out, I may have to vote Trump just to pi** off my Mexican neighbors! Imagine the look on their stupid faces when I show up at their door with a Trump sign and yell at them “Get ready to pay for the fence, virus bearers!”

Well, there’s about 250 miles of the triple border fence for which Mexico will be paying :)
