img_6857WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) –ABC News is reporting that President-elect Donald Trump has cancelled a visit to the National African American Museum due to a scheduling conflict.  He was scheduled to visit the museum on Martin Luther King Day.

Well, it appears that it is not just the museum visit he is canceling.

Trump has cancelled attendance at his own presidential inauguration on January 20.

A spokesperson for the 45th president of the United States said that the reason for the cancellation was also due to a scheduling conflict.

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by his non-appearance at his oath-taking ceremony, but our interns messed up with Trump’s appointment schedule,” the spokesperson said.  He said he was not at liberty to disclose where Trump will be on the day and time of his inauguration.  He only said, “definitely not in D.C.”

There is speculation that Trump’s cancellation was in rebuke of the decision by some U.S. legislators to boycott his inauguration.

Trump tweeted, “They are boycotting my inauguration? Well, it will blow in their face. I’m not attending either.”

In an effort to avert the negative effects of increasing the excise tax on petroleum products, Representative Rodel Batocabe proposed instead to tax beauty and cosmetic products and procedures.

In his proposal, Batocabe included “cosmetic products, or any substance or preparation intended to be placed in contact with the various external parts of the human body or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, with a view exclusively or mainly cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, and/or correcting body odor, and/or protecting the body or keeping them in good condition.”

It’s more fun in the Philippines!

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Donald Trump has pre-signed Executive Order No. 1 to go into effect immediately after he takes his oath as the 45th president of the United States.

The EO will make it illegal for anyone to take aerial photos of his swearing-in ceremony.

Trump is very worried that there will a lot of empty spaces at the inauguration site because  many people have vowed to boycott the January 20 event.

Reliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that Trump is more worried that there will be more attendees at the women’s march in Washington. D.C. scheduled on January 21.

So for Trump supporters, just imagine that the above photo of Barack Obama’s inauguration is what you will be seeing next week.

The news media can go ahead and park their helicopters and drones.
