Reality TV star and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s feud with the Spanish language television network Univision isn’t just about crowning Miss USA – now there are golf games and matters of foreign policy at stake.
Days after the network said it would sever ties with the 2016 dark horse after he characterized Mexican immigrants as drug smugglers and rapists in his lengthy presidential announcement, the Donald posted an image to Instagram on Friday of a letter to Univision CEO Randy Falco banning “any officer or representative of Univision” from using Trump National Doral Miami’s golf courses or facilities. He also demanded the company halt construction on a gate connecting “our respective properties.”
“Please congratulate your Mexican Government officials for having made such outstanding trade deals with the United States. However, inform them that should I become President, those days are over. We are bringing jobs back to the U.S. Also, a meaningful border will be immediately created, not the laughingstock that currently exists,” Trump wrote in a postscript.
Letter to @Univision- re: @TrumpDoral
The post came a day Trump shared with more than 200,000 Instagram followers a handwritten interview request from Univision host Jorge Ramos, which pointedly contained Ramos’ personal phone number. The post has since been deleted.

Being ultra thinned skinned and prone to litigate is not a useful characteristic for a potential POTUS to show. Trump cannot be counted on to respond like an adult when confronted with a crisis (a near daily occurrence for a President).
I must be missing something—this article does not mention anybody who’s a potential POTUS.
Yeah, a petulant pre-adolescent is just what we need to be in charge of the nuclear button.
But its just more evidence, as if we needed it, that Trump’s whole “candidacy” is just a publicity stunt intended to keep his name in the news and thus increase the value of his various brands.

And i believe he’s realized that potential with this latest sophist rant too!

Funny I thought his whole philosophy was that you can get past anything as long as you can make money on the deal. If they were gonna build a gate connecting the two presumably they would be over there quite a bit buying drinks and paying green fees.
