ARLINGTON, Virginia (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau)- Speaking at a campaign rally in Virginia, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump caught the ire of many war veterans and their families by saying, “A man came up to me and handed me his Purple Heart… I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the President to those wounded or killed while serving with the U.S. military.

Immediately, the Trump campaign sought to do some damage control by issuing a clarifying statement that said what Trump meant to say was “Purple Rain.”

Apparently, the GOP presidential nominee who has never served in the U.S. military, is an avid fan of the late Prince, and that he had always wanted to get a signed copy of the singer’s “Purple Rain” album.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – First, he wanted hecklers and protesters taken out. Then he banned what he thought were antagonistic media from his speaking engagements. Now, Donald Trump has made it crystal clear that he does not want any babies in his campaign events.

Apparently irked that the crying baby was repeatedly interrupting his campaign speech, Trump finally said “take the baby out of here.” This after he initially commented that he loved babies.

Well, after that event, it meant one less vote for him from the mother of the baby.

It probably also means that the baby will grow up to be a Democrat.

Here’s a LINK to the video.
