A border war has broken out between the Trump empire and Univision. In a shot across the bow at Univision CEO and President Randy Falco, New York businessman and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sent a letter to Falco Friday telling him that “under no circumstances is any officer or representative of Univision allowed to use Trump National Doral, Miami–its golf courses or any of its facilities.”
Trump also demanded that Univision, whose Miami property is near Trump’s, to “immediately stop work and close the gate which is being constructed between our respective properties. If this is not done within one week, we will close it,” Trump wrote noting that Falco did not have the courage to call up Trump himself about the matter.
Univision canceled Trump’s Miss USA Pageant over his remarks about Mexicans. During his speech announcing his campaign for the presidency, Trump criticized Mexican immigrants who “have lots of problems” and are “bringing those problems to us.”
“They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists,” he said, “and some, I assume, are good people.”
Trump later told Fox News, “Of course I’m standing by the statement,” adding, “I love Mexico, I love the Mexican people.”
Trump plans on suing Univision for the cancellation of the pageant.
