NBC drops Trump: he responds by calling them “weak” and slams Brian Williams
After NBC announced its plans to cut ties with Donald Trump moving forward following the offensive remarks he made towards Mexican immigrants during his presidential campaign speech, the reality TV star has responded by calling the broadcaster “weak” while adding “they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is.”
NBC will no longer air Miss USA or Miss Universe, both of which Trump previously co-produced with the network. He also will no longer host ‘Celebrity Apprentice.’
In a statement that he posted on his Instagram account, Trump responded to NBC’s decision with the following: “We must have strong borders and not let illegal immigrants enter the United States. As has been stated continuously in the press, people are pouring across our borders unabated. Public reports routinely state great amounts of crime are being committed by illegal immigrants. This must be stopped and it must be stopped now. Long ago I told NBC that I would not being doing The Apprentice because I am running for President in order to Make our Country Great Again.”
He also said that the Miss Universe and Miss USA contract he had with NBC “will be determined in court.”
During his presidential candidacy speech earlier this month, Trump said of Mexican immigrants: “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists.”
Trump still stands by the comments he made.
