Donald Trump gets the ax.

Donald Trump's comments about Mexicans while announcing his bid for a presidential nomination have cost him his job at NBC. The network announced that they will no longer be affiliated with Trump and won't be airing his shows on any of the NBCUniversal networks.

Donald originally said in his speech, "...When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

A little harsh, right?

So, no more Miss USA pageant, and he will not be participating in The Apprentice. "Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue." - NBC

Trump says he told NBC long ago that he wouldn't be doing "The Apprentice" because he's running for president.  Then he threatened them with a lawsuit over the Miss USA pageant.  But here's the best part. Trump said, "They will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won't stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be."

NBC is searching for a new host for "Celebrity Apprentice", and TMZ says they want that person to be a minority, possibly a Mexican or a Mexican American.
