The list of people and organizations distancing themselves from GOP candidate Donald Trump just keeps growing. After Univision, NBC and Macy's dumped the Trump, celebrities such as Ricky Martin (who pulled a charity golf tournament from the Trump International Golf Club Rio Grande in Puerto Rico opting instead to hold it at the Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort), followed. But it doesn't get much bigger than an entire city questioning its ties to the candidate.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio stated, according to reports, that Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants were "offensive and disgusting" and have "no place in our city." Officials are reviewing some of the contracts the city holds with the candidate.

But, late-night comic Conan O'Brien jokes, it gets even worse. He said Petco decided to stop carrying an item that helps the real estate mogul carry off his signature look. And now that Jon Stewart is near the end of his run, he thanked Trump for providing such rich comic material.
