Donald trump conceits!

Leave a comment

WASHINGTON D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – After weeks of claiming he won the November 3 U.S. Presidential elections, Donald Trump has finally conceited. Not that he wasn’t before.

Trump has fired his own key officials, tried to summon state elections officials who belong to the Republican party, promises to avail of his presidential pardon as he did with a couple of turkeys on Thanksgiving, held 60-second press conferences and refused to answer questions from news reporters. He has also laid claim to the most recent stock surge on Wall Street.

He has contested all the election results in key states through his surrogate Rudy Giuliani. When he is not holed out in his quarters at The White House, he has made several trips to hoes on the golf course, while pondering on all the Presidential powers he can muster to bring down the winner Joe Biden, the U.S. government, and the American people.

He has probably refused to take calls from world leaders, as if any of them would.

As he often likes to say, “No President in U.S. history has ever done…” these. Ever.

DUTERTE CREATES NEW, TASK FORCES OF THE PHILIPPINES

Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – If there’s an app for that, there’s also a task force for that.

It is no secret that the Duterte administration has a penchant for creating task forces for almost everything — from the Covid-19 response, to the PhilHealth and other corruption investigations at other agencies, to the Boracay rehabilitation, to typhoons and other calamities. Many members of these task forces — numbering about 15 as of latest count according to Rappler — are retired army generals or members of the Armed Forces.

So in order to coordinate the activities of these task forces, President Rodrigo Duterte has signed an Executive Order creating a new agency, the Task Forces of the Philippines (TFP). It will be an attached agency to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)

As of press time, Duterte is yet to name the head of this new agency who will be called Task Forces Czar. Rumors have it that the President is considering Senator Bong Go to fill the position.

Spokesperson Harry Roque, the goal of the TFP is to make sure that the left hand knows what the right hand is doing.
