Donald Trump may be going for the White House, but he needs to remember that his own words (like "You're Fired!") can come back to bite him in the butt. MStars News has learned that NBC fired Trump on Monday due to statements he made that insulted Mexicans earlier this month after he started his race for Presidency.

According to x17Online, NBC revealed that they will not be airing the Trump-produced Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants anymore, nor his reality hit show, The Apprentice.

"At NBC, respect and dignity for all people are cornerstones of our values. Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBC Universal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump." The statement from NBC read. "To that end, the annual Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants, which are part of a joint venture between NBC and Trump, will no longer air on NBC. In addition, as Mr. Trump has already indicated, he will not be participating in The Apprentice on NBC. Celebrity Apprentice is licensed from Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group and that relationship will continue."

The Republican candidate revealed that he was thinking about suing NBC because of this drama. Trump previously said:

"We must have strong borders and not let illegal immigrants enter the United States." He added, "As has been stated continuously in the press, people are pouring across our borders unabated. Public reports routinely state great amounts of crime are being committed by illegal immigrants. This must be stopped and it must be stopped now. Long ago I told NBC that I would not being doing 'The Apprentice' because I am running for president in order to make our country great again."

He also called NBC "weak" for how they handled the Brian Williams lying situation. "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," Trump said.

US Magazine claims that Trump isn't sorry for his comments and has no plans on apologizing.

"There is nothing to apologize for," the Presidential hopeful stated. "Everything that I said is correct. People are flowing through the borders and we have no idea who they are, where they're coming from. They're not only coming from Mexico, they're coming from all over South America and the world."

Ouch! MStars News wants to know if you agree with Trump on this one? Whether you do or you don't, at least we get a laugh at Trumps own word's -- "You're Fired" -- below.
