A partial interview of a guy relating "what Rump's lawyer sent him" and reported (edited) by Dimbart?
I'll wait for a reliable source, thanks.
But meanwhile...
>> Donald Trump seems to be showing off what would happen if your prototypical internet troll had way too much money at his disposal. As you may have heard, he's putting on a big show of
"running" for President, though as many have recognized, the move appears to be a hell of a lot more about getting himself publicity (thankfully, at least some news organizations are properly categorizing stories about Trump as
entertainment rather than politics). Of course, the plan to get more attention may be backfiring somewhat, as some of the ridiculous comments he's made "on the campaign" are coming back to bite him -- including Univision
cutting ties with him over the Miss USA telecast and NBC
dumping both the pageants and his
Apprentice series (that thing is still on?).
... Univision didn't just cut ties with Trump, it actually
agreed to pay the full licensing amounts it promised for the next five years (totaling $13.5 million). In other words,
Trump actually didn't lose any direct money from this, because Univision paid up (and, in theory, he could try to license it to someone else, though I'm not sure who would want to pay at this point). But Trump is -- hilariously -- claiming damages of
$500 million because now people won't see the pageants.
Of course, Trump's own arguments undermine his arguments (because
of course they do). The lawsuit repeatedly brags that there was a bidding war earlier this year, in which Univision emerged victorious. Thus, at least a few months ago, other TV media properties wished to broadcast the pageants. If it was true that this was all just a grand conspiracy by Hillary Clinton supporter Saban, then you'd think that Trump could simply move on to whoever else was in that bidding war (while keeping all the money that Univision paid him anyway!). But, of course, if the real reason for the cancellation was because of Trump's comments about Mexico and the concern about how Spanish-speaking audiences felt about that -- well, then Trump wouldn't be able to find that alternative. << (

and he's suing for more.
I just love the irony that some of the same wags who were jumping all over Rachel Dolezal for pretending to be black, are all on the other side of Donald T. Rump pretending to be a victim.
