But there is one problem.

Macy’s has accumulated a huge inventory of Trump’s clothing line collection which is just sitting idle in its warehouses.

Today, Macy’s announced that on Black Friday — the biggest shopping day of the year — it will give away Trump collection items to the first 1,000 customers at each of its department stores nationwide, or until supplies last.

A spokesperson for Macy’s said that it is the store’s way of thanking its loyal customers while getting rid of the boycotted items, thus freeing much-needed warehouse space.

Apple Adds ‘Alt-Right’ Key To Its Computer Keyboards

CUPERTINO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Technology giant Apple is known for its innovation and for constantly reinventing itself and its products. This strategy has spelled the company’s tremendous success across the globe.

Occasionally, Apple immerses itself in politics and the current political atmosphere following the election of Donald Trump as the 45th U.S. president is one of those times.

By now, the term Alt-Right (Alternative Right) has become a familiar phrase especially on social media.

The Alternative Right, commonly known as the Alt-Right, is a set of far-right ideologies, groups and individuals whose core belief is that “white identity” is under attack by multicultural forces using “political correctness” and “social justice” to undermine white people and “their” civilization. Characterized by heavy use of social media and online memes, Alt-Righters eschew “establishment” conservatism, skew young, and embrace white ethno-nationalism as a fundamental value.

In keeping up with this new political atmosphere, Apple has just announced that it will be replacing all keyboards on its desktops, laptops, iPhones and iPads with a new design that adds the “Alt-Right” key. The key will be located in the lowermost right corner of the keyboard. How appropriate

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the addition of this all-important key will enable those who subscribe to the Alternative Right ideologies (and idiosyncrasies) to identify themselves when sending emails, texts or posting on social media. Hitting the “Alt-Right” key will automatically add the hashtag #AlternativeRight to whatever a person is typing on the keyboard.

Welcome to the 22nd century!

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – While the rest of the world is still trying to figure out what exactly President Rodrigo Roa Duterte meant by “separating from America,” both China and the Philippines today announced a new bilateral trade deal that will begin immediately.

It is well known that China is the world’s largest steel exporter and the Philippines has been importing Chinese steel to the tune of about 1.2 Million metric tons per year.

Under the new trade agreement, the Philippines will double its steel imports from China.

In return, China will import 1 Million metric tons of pork and chicken adobo this year, subject to a 15 percent increase in the coming years.

The Philippines needs the steel to boost its infrastructure boom while China says that there is a huge demand for Filipino adobo among the Chinese people who just can’t perfect the art of making adobo.

Duterte told The Adobo Chronicles that the new trade agreement is reflective of a truly bilateral partnership which he said was lacking in his country’s decades-long relationship with America.
