Donald Trump Appeals To Filipino Americans: Please Come Out!

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – On the eve of the first presidential debate, Republican candidate Donald Trump is appealing to Filipino Americans to come out in the open and manifest their support for his candidacy.

Trump gathered a few Asian Americans  for a historic group photo yesterday to show that he has the support of the community.  He, however, could not bring on Filipino Americans, except for Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes who has gone public as a Trump supporter.  (Most of those who posed for the photo were Chinese Americans.)

“I know I have a lot of Filipino American supporters who will vote for me,” Trump said, “so I really need you all to come out in the open to show that I am the candidate who will fight for the cause of diversity.”

In one of his campaign speeches, Trump lumped the Philippines with other countries which he identified as harboring terrorists.

That statement didn’t sit well with Filipino American Republicans, but they are still committed to vote for him as the next president of the United Sates.

Trump Wants To See Hillary Clinton’s Birth Certificate, Claims She Was Born In Quebec

With this latest pronouncement, Trump has all but abandoned the birther movement he has spearheaded since Obama declared his candidacy for president.

Now, Trump has turned his focus on his rival, Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to adoring news reporters at the Trump International Towers today, Trump challenged Clinton to make public her birth certificate.

“She claims she was born in Chicago, but extensive research by my campaign interns points to the possibility that Clinton was born in Quebec, Canada.”

“In the interest of the voting public, I challenge my opponent to show us not only her full, detailed medical record, but also a certified true copy of her birth certificate,” Trump said.

The Clinton campaign has not responded to this latest Trump pronouncement.

Donald Trump To Meet With Philippine President Duterte

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just hours after The White House announced that President Barack Obama had cancelled his meeting in Laos with Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he is meeting the tough-talking Philippine president next week.

Obama cancelled his meeting with Duterte following statements from the Filipino leader that he will not entertain any questions from the U.S. regarding alleged human rights violations related to his domestic war on drugs.

Trump said, “Well, if Obama is not willing to talk to Duterte, then I will. Let’s see who is the better diplomat, Obama or I !”

It will be recalled that Trump recently visited Mexico and personally met with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, the day before he delivered his major immigration policy speech in Arizona.

“I think Duterte and I will get along well together,” Trump said. “He can curse me all he wants.  It wouldn’t bother me.  Together, we can make both America and the Philippines great again.”

In a previous campaign speech, Trump lumped the Philippines with countries that harbor terrorists.

The meeting is scheduled to take place at the MGM Grand Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
