NBC and Univision have already cut ties (Read here), following the comments he made during his presidential announcement speech on June 16, in which he said people coming into the United States from Mexico "are bringing drugs.

Following Macy's announcement, Trump fired back at both the retailer and NBC in a statement released on his Instagram account, stating that he was the one who decided to cut ties with Macy's, and on Twitter.
"Clearly, NBC and Macy's support illegal immigration, which is totally detrimental to the fabric of our one great country," Trump's statement said. "Both Macy's and NBC totally caved at the first sight of potential difficulty with professional agitators, who are not looking out for the people they purport to represent, but only for themselves."
NBC announced on Monday that it would no longer air Trump's Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants and would remove him as host of the reality show The Apprentice.
"Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump," the statement said.
Let them quit its all or nothing at this point you are what they say is fully invested now back down and you are the "Looser". This is it make it or break it. Time to go public and do something. This is where they separate the men form the boys or is that the Republican Party of Cowards that has made this someone else's job to do because they are scared. That is what I would do I would go public and attack the Republican Party of feckless fools and go Independent or form the "TRUMP" Party and raise hell because we are sick of and are not going to take it any more.
