WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Because of their political persuasion starkly in contrast to that of President Donald Trump, American-owned construction companies have refused to enter into agreements with The White House to build the great wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

This has caused an unnecessary delay in the implementation of Trump’s order to immediately begin the massive construction project.

To solve the impasse, Trump has instructed his Labor as well as Homeland Security secretaries to travel to Berlin this weekend to recruit Germans to help build the border wall.

Priority for the recruitment will be given to former East or West Germans who helped build the Berlin Wall, or their descendants.

A lucrative compensation awaits the Germans, including an expedited path to U.S. citizenship.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Many will recall when in October last year, Philippine actress Agot Isidro took to Twitter to criticize President Rodrigo Duterte, calling him a “psychopath.”

The president had a classic response, saying that Isidro had a constitutional right to free expression.

Well, Isidro took that constitutional right a step further in a timely fashion by designing a limited edition wrist watch which will be jointly manufactured and distributed by Swiss watch maker Patek Philippe and Japanese watch maker Seiko.

Unconfirmed reports say that Filipino American millionaire and Duterte critic Loida Nicolas-Lewis is investing an undisclosed amount in this joint venture.

Isidro and Nicolas-Lewis expect this new designer watch to be a psychopathic success.

The watch hits the international market on February 1, 2017.

Trump & Sons To Buy Franchise For Ringling Bros. Circus

img_8455NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – “The Greatest Show on Earth” will finally come to a close — for good.

Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment which owns and manages the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, announced that the show will finally end because of declining attendance, high operating costs, changing public tastes and prolonged battles with animal rights groups.

Immediately after the announcement, Donald J. Trump & Sons announced that it is buying the franchise for the circus effective January 20, 2017.

While Donald J. Trump has promised to let his sons manage all his business enterprises, he says that he will occasionally appear as a performing guest in the show.

The Trump sons, on the other hand, promised to end their hunting escapades and will instead capture lions, tigers and elephants alive so that they can be featured in the new, upcoming circus shows.

Animal rights groups have called for a united coalition meeting to discuss this latest development.
