Donald Trump took his battle with Univision to another level today, banning the network’s employees from his golf course. Since that wasn’t enough for the billionaire, he also revealed journalist Jorge Ramos’ cellphone number.
Univision cut all ties with Trump, the Trump Organization and Miss Universe early Thursday after Trump’s insulting comments about Mexican immigrants in his announcement that he is running for president. Trump quickly fired back, threatening to sue Univision and began claiming that the Mexican government pressured the network.
Since he came up with the idea that the Mexican government is involved with this, he pushed that again today on Twitter.
“Anyone who wants strong borders and good trade deals for the US should boycott @Univision,” Trump wrote today. “@Univision cares far more about Mexico than it does about the U.S. Are they controlled by the Mexican government?”
Trump then went to Instagram, where he posted a photo of a handwritten letter Ramos sent him on Thursday, asking Trump to speak with him. The letter included Ramos’ cell number, which Trump didn’t even bother to block out.
“Univision said they don't like Trump yet Jorge Ramos and their other anchors are begging me for interviews,” Trump wrote in the caption.
Politico also revealed that Trump has sent a letter to Univision CEO Randy Falco to announce that “no Univision officer or representative” can use the Trump National Doral resort and golf club that’s right next door to the Univision Miami officers.
According to Politico, the letter concluded, “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.”
A Univision spokesperson told Politico after the site published the Trump letter, “As part of this decision, [Univision Communications Inc.] employees should not stay at Trump properties while on company business or hold events/activities there.”
