Trump, a Republican Presidential candidate, detailed the information of his earnings in a filing with the Federal Election Commission this week, and was later released by his campaign.
NBC parted ways with Trump in June after he announced his bid for the GOP presidential nomination in a news conference, in which he made comments about Mexican immigrants travelling across the U.S. border being rapists, and drug smugglers. Some people found his remarks offensive.
NBCUniversal and Trump were also partners in the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Univision also cut ties with Trump, saying it would not broadcast the Miss USA pageant to its viewers, which instead ran on the cable network, Reelz, this year.
Macy’s department stores, having a partnership with Trump, also ended their connection with him after receiving many petitions against him.
With all his success, I’m guessing it’s been a long time since Trump heard the phrase he made famous for television viewers, “you’re fired!”
Speaking of being let go, after just one season, Nicolle Wallace will not be returning to the table of The View, according to an article in Variety.
Comments have not been made by either Wallace or an ABC spokesperson. According to the article, Wallace was brought onboard in September as the resident Republican because she was the former communication chief for George W. Bush, but she underwhelmed ABC execs with her lack of knowledge on celebrity news and not being opinionated enough on political issues.
Her departure comes in the wake of Rosie Perez and Rosie O’Donnell also leaving the show this year. Ratings were down 16-percent for The View second quarter compared to the same time last year, and ABC plans to revamp the show for its 19th season with Whoopi Goldberg returning to the show, alongside Raven Symone, and comedian Michelle Collins.
Although she won’t be at the table on a daily, ABC has asked Wallace to return as a contributor and would appear on the show from time-to-time. Candace Cameron Bure, former Full House actress, is amongst the candidates being considered for the conservative role at the table. Producers are impressed with her as a fill-in host who offers strong opinions that generate buzz on social media.
As much as I disagreed with the opinions of Elizabeth Hasselbeck, one thing is clear: she set the bar pretty high for conservatives at that table.
One person not being conservative anymore is Caitlyn Jenner. The trans-woman (not sure if it needs a hyphen) accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at yesterday's ESPY awards. Jenner shared her story with the world to get a message across.
"It's not just about me, it's about all of us accepting one another," she said. Her speech was received with a standing ovation in the end.
