AceShowbiz - Donald Trump is apparently still holding a grudge against Univision after the network refused to air his Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. On Tuesday, August 25, the real estate tycoon had Univision anchor Jorge Ramos removed from his press conference in Iowa.
In a video which has made its way round the internet, Ramos was heard asking Trump about his immigration policies when the Republican presidential candidate gave a go-ahead to another report to give his question. "Excuse, me. Sit down. You weren't called. Sit down. Sit down," Trump told Ramos, who refused to sit down and continued asking.
"I have the right to ask a question," Ramos argued, but Trump responded, "No you don't. You haven't been called... Go back to Univision." Trump remained silent for a few seconds before a security was seen escorting Ramos out of the room.
Asked by other reporters why he refused to answer questions from Ramos, Trump said it's because he had asked a question before being called on. "You can't just stand up and scream. He is obviously a very emotional person," Trump said of Ramos.
Around 10 minutes later, Ramos was welcomed back into the room and was allowed to ask questions to Trump. "Good to have you back," Trump said to Ramos, who then grilled the businessman about his deportation policies.
"How are you going to deport 11 million?" Ramos asked, to which Trump replied, "Very humanely, believe me. I have a bigger heart than you do." After taking questions from other reporters, Trump was back to Ramos and at one point pressed him to mention how much he's suing Univision for dropping the coverage of Miss USA and Miss Universe. He then answered his own question, "$500 million."
Trump was also boasting about the support he's got from the Latino community. "Do you know how many Latinos work for me? Do you know how many Hispanics are working for me? They love me," he claimed. "Do you know many Latinos work for me? Thousands. Do you know how many have worked for me over the years? Tens of thousands."
