He says immigrants are rapists and criminals who are bringing drugs to the U.S. He also says the Mexican government is forcing their most unwanted people into the country.

And he, Donald Trump, is running for president of the United States.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to members of the City Club of Chicago Monday, June 29, 2015, in Chicago.

As the Republican presidential debate nears, the presidential hopeful seems to be gaining momentum in the pollsdespite the inflammatory comments that have placed him under fire from Costa Rica to NASCAR.

In case you’ve lost count, here is a list of the many companies and countries who have spoken out against Trump’s immigration remarks:

1. Univision

Adios. The Spanish-based network was quick to react by ending its contract with Trump. It cancelled its coverage of this year’s Miss USA, prompting Trump to file a $500 million lawsuit.

Trump’s reaction:

Univision says it never apologized. Furthermore, it called Trump’s lawsuit "factually false and legally ridiculous," arguing that the decision was based off of the network’s preference for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

2. NBC

The network dumped Trump from The Apprentice and decided to not air his beauty pageants, Miss USA and Miss Universe, after heavy pressure from an online petition. Will Trump file a lawsuit? He might.

His reaction:

The candidate’s legal team says NBC's decision to stop airing the pageant is "a clear breach of the provisions of the agreement," -- an agreement it says NBC hasn’t followed. Trump’s attorney will also be seeking private arbitration outside the court, as stipulated in the contract. Meanwhile, Trump’s partial ownership of Miss Universe with NBC is in limbo.

3. ESPN

The sports network waved goodbye to Trump and decided to move the ESPY Celebrity Golf Classic away from his eponymous golf club.

In a statement, ESPN said the “charity outing benefits The V Foundation’s Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund” which provides “resources for important cancer research for minority populations, including Hispanics and African Americans.”

“Our decision reflects our deep feelings for our former colleague and support for inclusion of all sports fans. Diversity and inclusion are core values at ESPN and our decision also supports that commitment,” the statement said.

4. NASCAR

Swerve. NASCAR has sped away and will not return to Trump properties for its postseason banquet.

"We looked at obviously everything that we saw coming down and what we heard from our sponsors and our partners and what we feel we should be doing, and that is what led us to the decision today," David Higdon, NASCAR spokesperson, told ESPN.

5. Costa Rica

You know it’s serious when other countries get involved. Miss Costa Rica organizers will not participate or broadcast Trump’s Miss Universe — neither will Panama nor El Salvador.

6. Macy’s

Macy’s will remove Donald Trump merchandise from all of its stores.

"We are disappointed and distressed by recent remarks about immigrants from Mexico. We do not believe the disparaging characterizations portray an accurate picture of the many Mexicans, Mexican Americans and Latinos who have made so many valuable contributions to the success of our nation," Macy's said in a public statement.

7 . New York City

“Trump’s comments do not represent the values of inclusion and openness that define us as New Yorkers. Our Mexican brothers and sisters make up an essential part of this city’s vibrant and diverse community, and we will continue to celebrate and support New Yorkers of every background.” — New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for ABC News.
