The Donald Trump debacle continues. I can’t believe how much press Trump is getting – he’s really hit the sweet spot for the media, because this controversy is a business story, a media story, a celebrity gossip story and a political story. So let’s get on with it. To recap, when Trump announced he was running for president, he said most undocumented Mexicans are rapists and murderers. He said a lot of other horrible stuff, but the stuff about Mexicans and “illegals” was what got the ball rolling.

In the past two weeks, this is what’s happened: Univision dumped Trump’s Miss USA and Miss Universe properties; NBCUniversal fired Trump; advertiser Farouk Systems dumped Trump; Televisa dumped Trump’s pageant properties; Macy’s dumped Trump as a spokesperson; the city of New York is putting all of Trump’s city contracts under review; mattress maker Serta dumped him; NASCAR is done with their association with him and ESPN will be moving a golf tournament out of one of Trump’s golf clubs to a non-Trump club. I’m not even including all of the many people associated with the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants who have all come out personally to say they have no interest in being associated with anything Trump-related. The NASCAR one especially has to hurt, right? As goes NASCAR, so goes middle America. Gawker compiled a comprehensive list of all the breakups – go here to see.

Even though Trump is being slammed across the board, financially, politically and by colleagues and employees, he’s actually doing okay in the polls. The latest polls for GOP presidential contenders have Trump in the #2 position (ha) behind Jeb Bush. Part of that might be name recognition, part of it might be Trump’s anti-immigrant message “landing” with a certain segment of the population, I don’t really know. But whatever is happening, it means that Trump will definitely be included in the first debates. And it will be epic, stupid and amazing. Trump is going to be attacked by people in his own party.

One of the latest breakups? The reigning Miss Universe, Paulina Vega, slammed Trump on her Instagram but she says she’s not giving up her crown. As you can imagine, Trump has already labeled her a “hypocrite.” I’m surprised he didn’t call her a rapist.
