Macy’s Inc said on Wednesday it would end its business relationship with Donald Trump, and New York City said it was reviewing its contracts with the billionaire developer and U.S. presidential hopeful because of his comments insulting Mexicans.
Calling Trump’s remarks “disgusting and offensive,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said in a statement, “Trump’s comments do not represent the values of inclusion and openness that define us as New Yorkers.”
In New York City, where Trump built his fortune in real estate, his company has a contract to run a golf course at Ferry Point in the Bronx. Trump also manages two public skating rinks in Manhattan’s Central Park.

This man is a rasha without a god. He has no mind, value or solidarity. His dimes in his pocket are just the mammon on the edge of pain.
If you are an orthodox jew and can not listen to him, I do not blame you. He says “G-d is a carpet beggar” and “G-d is not a dream”.
This man needs more than a jail cell. We must have more direction that seeing his Towers break our future by mocking our values and choice.
Bum with a bad soul.
Needs a shrink. And a padded room.
I’m appalled! While I don’t disagree that the comment was distasteful, doesn’t the second ammendment protect the right of free speech? He didn’t yell fire in a crowded theater! ! He made a statement that’s offensive and the law of this land extends him that right! If you don’t like his opinion, that’s your right and then vote for an alternative choice!
I think lying to the country or deleting emails is far worse yet we don’t see the same measuring stick applied to others!

Open your eyes, and your ears. Trump absolutely has the right to free speech, which he is exercising. And with his money he can promote his views much more than the average person; also his right which he is exercising. NOBODY is blocking his right to speak as he sees fit. However, nobody else is obligated to support or associate with him. If he says something that YOU don’t like he is free to do so, and you are free to ignore him, sever any ties that you might have with him or actively work against him.
Incidentally, the second amendment protects his right to keep and bear arms. The first amendment protects his right of free speech
