NBC and Macy\u2019s Fire Trump: What\u2019s Donald Trump\u2019s Net Worth Now?<\/h2>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Billionaire\u00a0Donald Trump probably thought his June 16 presidential candidacy announcement would be a triumphant moment for him\u00a0\u2014 but instead of getting featured in headlines for his merits as a presidential candidate, the real estate tycoon is getting blasted for racist remarks he made during his speech.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump\u2019s Racist Remarks About Mexican Immigrants<\/h2>\n

On his first day of campaigning, Trump made offensive comments about Mexico and illegal immigrants. \u201cWhen Mexico sends its people, they\u2019re not sending their best,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re sending people who have lots of problems. They\u2019re bringing drugs. They\u2019re bringing crime. They are rapists,\u00a0and some are good people but I speak to border guards and they tell us what we\u2019re getting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also said that he would build a \u201cgreat wall\u201d along the United States\u2019 southern border and make Mexico pay for it.<\/p>\n

Trump has since reiterated his remarks with an interview with Don Lemon on CNN Tonight. \u201cWell, if you look at the statistics of people coming, you look at the statistics on rape, on crime, on everything coming in illegally into this country, it\u2019s mind-boggling!\u201d he told Lemon.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s offensive remarks have not sat well with many Americans, particularly members of Latina American communities. As actress America Ferrera a\u00a0wrote in a Huffington Post op-ed, his remarks might have had the opposite intended effect\u00a0\u2014 instead of drawing potential voters, he galvanized the opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemarks like yours will serve brilliantly to energize Latino voters and increase turnout on election day against you and any other candidate who runs on a platform of hateful rhetoric,\u201d wrote\u00a0Ferrera.<\/p>\n
