How Dare The ‘Mexican Run’ New York Times Go After Donald Trump (VIDEO)

Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, has been hating on Mexicans literally since the first day of his campaign. He opened up his presidential announcement calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers. He even insulted the Mexican judge on his Trump University case.

Now, that he is going after the media, I guess he just needed to throw in some racism with that as well.

He said that The New York Times doesn’t like him because they are owned by a “Mexican.” Trump said:

“I know why I get bad treatment in The New York Times. It’s because it’s owned by Mexico. I don’t know if you know, a rich guy in Mexico actually has power at The New York Times.”

Trump was referring to Carlos Slim, a Mexican billionaire that once loaned The New York Times $250 million in 2009. He bought 15.9 million shares and is their largest stake holder.

However, he is not on the board. The paper reported this in 2009 after the deal:

“Mr. Slim will receive no representation on the company’s board or any shares with special voting rights like those of the Sulzberger family, which controls the company.” 

Slim has no control over what is being published by the paper.

Trump often blames the dumb things he says on the press. Recently, he said:

“These are the most dishonest people. Maybe we’ll start thinking about taking their press credentials away from them.”

New York Times columnist, Jim Rutenberg, said this about Trump’s fight against the media:

“The fight with the media’s going to be way worse because Breitbart was very tough on the press, more than anyone else. We saw it last night in Trump’s speech, that law and order speech. Calling out the media … it was very subtle, but there was a little twist, it was the media-political establishment he was going after, so it was almost like he was running against the press, as if the press could be ejected from office.”
