If Donald Trump is not a racist, he definitely has racist tendencies. That may explain why he said those racist things about Mexican people causing Univision to cut ties with him and the Miss USA Pageant. But in addition to his racist tendencies, Trump is sometimes a sore loser, and has filed a $500 million lawsuit against Univision over the network’s decision to cut ties with the Miss USA pageant.
The Blaze reports that Univision, which was under contract to air the pageant live in Spanish, said it would no longer do so after Trump’s controversial comments on those illegally entering the USA from Mexico.
Trump, however, contested Univision’s claim, contending the network’s move was really aimed at silencing his freedom of speech as he begins his presidential campaign. Trump said in a statement that nothing he has said was different from what he has been saying for “many years.”
“I want strong borders, and I do not support or condone illegal immigration,” Trump said. “There is a high level of crime occurring in this country due to unchecked illegal immigration. This is a major security issue for the United States.”
“Additionally, the terrible trade deals our government is routinely entering into with Mexico are causing great financial harm to our country,” he continued. “We are losing a huge number of jobs, manufacturing opportunities and money due to poorly negotiated trade deals, a fact that is indisputable. That won’t happen if I become president – this disturbing trend will end and it will end quickly.”
Trump said that he has “great respect for Mexico and love for the Mexican people,” contending his comments have been manipulated by the media to frame him as a racist.
