More Trump dump: Celebs speak out

Politically-charged barbs can cost you.

Donald Trump is finding that out this week the hard way, as networks, a department store and celebrities have distanced themselves from him following his derogatory remarks about Mexican immigrants last week when he made his presidential announcement.

To recap: First, Univision and then NBC dropped plans to air Trump's Miss USA pageant on July 12. NBC kicked him off The Apprentice. Then Macy's decided it would no longer sell the real estate magnate's retail goods. What next?

Celebrity frenemies, of course. Here's a look at who's said what.

How to heap scorn in a thank-you note.

America Ferrera, 31, wins this contest with her "open letter" to Trump in Huffington Post Thursday, flagged with the big fat "Thank You!" headline.

Ferrera, who is Honduran American born in Los Angeles, says in the letter that she wants to address Trump's "incredibly ignorant and racist" comments about Latino immigrants because, "This is the United States of America, where I have a right to speak up even if I'm not a billionaire. Isn't that awesome?"

Then she sliced him up with a stiletto of political analysis.

"You see, what you just did with your straight talk was send more Latino voters to the polls than several registration rallies combined!," she enthused. "Here we are pounding the pavement to get American Latinos to the polls, while your tactic proves most effective. Remarks 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....Your negativity and your poorly thought out speech ignited a fire in our community. Thank you, Mr. Trump!"

In case he missed the point, she included some facts about the growth of the Latino population, the "largest, youngest and fastest-growing constituency in the USA."

"We are the future," she said. "In case you need a translation, that means there are a whole lot of Americans who are Latino and have the right to vote. And, we're not going anywhere."

And that comb-over looks terrible.

Comedians are having a field day, of course, but even the comedians' security guards are making fun of Trump.

Guillermo Rodriguez, the Mexican-born security guard who's become a TV personality thanks to his daffy banter with Jimmy Kimmel, gave his take on Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night as a mariachi band played America the Beautiful behind him.

He spoke in Spanish but on screen the translation was...well, not quite the same. But it was all too hilariously clear anyway, even for the non-Spanish speakers in the hooting audience.The best line:

"Your terrible comb-over makes you look like a chupacabra."

Flo Rida backed out of performing for Miss USA.

The most high-profile act scheduled for the pageant will no longer be attending, his rep confirmed Wednesday.

(So did the rest of the pageant's acts.)

The rapper was followed out the door by country singer Craig Wayne Boyd (winner of The Voice last year) and pop singer Natalie La Rose (behind the single, Somebody), who both bailed. That left Miss USA with little entertainment: No other performers for the pageant had been previously announced.

And then there were no hosts.

On Tuesday, Dancing with the Stars alum Cheryl Burke pulled out of co-hosting Miss USA, followed soon after by MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts. "I cannot in good conscience move forward with participating in this year's Miss USA Pageant as its co-host," Burke told USA TODAY in a statement.

Puerto Rican Roselyn Sanchez, of Devious Maids, was supposed to be one of the co-hosts for the Spanish-language broadcast on Univision of the Miss USA contest, but pulled out last week because of what Trump said.

On her Twitter and Instagram page, she posted in Spanish that as a Latina, "I don't tolerate the disrespectful and hurtful words that came out of Mr. Trump's mouth."

Chilean actor-producer Cristián de la Fuente, the show's other co-host, had strong words for Trump: "It's a shame that such an important institution as Miss USA is now in the hands of a clown."

But surely there's at least still judges for Miss USA contestants, right?

Wrong. HGTV Property Brothers star Jonathan Scott was supposed to serve as a judge, but withdrew his name. "We are all on this big rock together," said Scott, "and I choose love."

Country singer Jessie James Decker, E! News anchor Terrence Jenkins, former football star Emmitt Smith and TV host and former Miss Universe winner Zuleyka Rivera were all previously announced as pageant judges, too. By Wednesday, only Decker's name was listed as a judge by Miss USA on its website.

Ricky Martin won't even step foot on Trump's greens.

Martin hit the Donald where it really hurts: In his golf-course empire. He has cancelled plans to host his annual Ricky Martin Foundation charity golf tournament (supporting efforts to end child trafficking) at the Trump International Golf Club Rio Grande in Puerto Rico, in an act of "solidarity for basic human rights and in support of the Latin-American community," according to a statement issued from his Puerto Rico office. Instead, the tournament will take place at the nearby Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort on August 21.

Then came Shakira.

The international pop singer has had it with Trump, and took to Twitter to vent.

"This is a hateful and racist speech that attempts to divide a country that for years has promoted diversity and democracy!" she wrote, linking to a video of Trump's presidential announcement speech.

And Aaron Paul.

And Eva Longoria.

Then speaking at a luncheon in LA, the Mexican-American actress and political activist said this:

"What I think he doesn't understand and what people don't understand is words create emotional poison. …Hitler moved a nation with words, just words....So you have to expect this backlash. If you say something like that, as he has said, you must expect a backlash."

Longoria later clarified her remarks: "My statement has been dramatically mis-characterized," she wrote on her WhoSay account. "I'm not comparing anyone. Of course I'm NOT saying Donald Trump himself is dangerous, but that WORDS can be dangerous. I was referring to the quote "The word is so powerful that one word can change a life or destroy the lives of millions."-Don Miguel Ruiz, Four Agreements"
