Because of his vile comments about Mexicans. First he got kicked off the Miss American Beauty pageant, and now his show the Apprentice has been cancelled that goes back to 2004. So he's already reduced the economy.
He's doubling down:
"Whatever they want to do is okay with me," Trump said during remarks in Chicago, according to Fox News. "I’ve had a lot of great relationships with NBC, I think as far as ending the relationship, I have to do that, because my view on immigration is much different than the people at NBC."

In a statement released Monday, Trump stood by his controversial remarks and criticized NBC for how it handled his situation versus that of anchor Brian Williams, who was suspended for six months after admitting to making false statements on air and has since been moved to MSNBC as a breaking news and special reports anchor."
“If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court," Trump said. "Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.”

It's kind of rich him calling anyone else foolish. Who else throws a show that was something of an institution for 11 years over the bus-I'll cop to liking the show myself though the move to having only celebrity apprentices was probably a jumping the shark moment-for another doomed to fail run in the GOP primary?
I don't think this is who anyone wants with his hand on the button. And what exactly did he say that was an unpleasant truth? It was just unpleasant.
He claimed without any proof that Mexican immigrants are involved with Jihad terrorism-ie, he told a scurrilous lie. Watching him you know you felt like surely he knew better. Then you remember this was the guy beating the drum on Obama's birth certificate for years.
While announcing his candidacy in the 2016 GOP presidential primary race, Trump bashed Mexican immigrants, calling some "rapists."
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you," Trump said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Think about that: he's assuming there are some who are good people but he's not sure. Wow. This is a guy with a deep seated hatred of Mexicans. So basically he's destroyed his career-well his tv career anyway-and destroyed his public standing to please the wild and woollies in the Tea Party base.
Seems like a high price to earn words of praise from Rush Limbaugh but I guess The Donald moves in mysterious ways.
