Donald Trump's giant ego and offensive ranting have cost him a major television platform. Thanks to his
astonishingly offensive anti-immigrant comments, Trump is
losing his beauty pageant deals with NBC:
At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values.
Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump.
To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC .
In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC.
Right now, Trump has his presidential campaign to sustain his ego, but once that inevitably flames out, he may regret burning so many bridges (because they're bridges to attention, which is his lifeblood). Then again, all his
threatened lawsuits may keep him busy and fulfilled.
12:11 PM PT: According to Trump, NBC is mostly unhappy that he's running for president because they wanted him to stay on Celebrity Apprentice, and in any case NBC's immigration views are "much different" than Trump's.
