Trump On Sarah Palin: “Blood Is Coming Out Of Her Eyes And Wherever”

Leave a comment

IMG_7363.JPGNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It was a comment directed at FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly during the presidential debate, but now, Donald Trump has reprised that comment, this time aimed at former VP candidate and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,” Trump said after Palin criticized him for the tax deal he negotiated with Carrier.

Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence helped arrange $7 million in Indiana tax breaks over 10 years for Carrier in exchange for the company’s promise to keep about 800 of 1,400 jobs in the U.S. instead of moving them to Mexico. In addition, Trump threatened to impose a stiff tariff on Carrier products if they sent all of the work across the border.

Palin, who is reportedly under consideration to join Donald Trump’s cabinet, blasted the tax deal, condemning it as “crony capitalism.”

The president-elect was, of course, not happy at Palin’s comments, and that’s when he repeated what he said about Kelly.

President-elect Trump

SAN JOSE, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Tens of thousands of individuals have moved or are planning to move out of the U.S. after the election of Donald Trump as the 45th president.

As previously reported by The Adobo Chronicles, Americans are moving to Canada, Europe, Australia and elsewhere to escape the next four years of the Trump presidency,

Now, The Adobo Chronicles, has announced that it is moving its U.S. headquarters (in San Jose, California) to Manila in the Philippines.

The publishers said that a government under Trump is not conducive to a safe, intelligent and politically-correct news reporting, considering the president-elect’s rhetoric and pronouncements during his campaign.

“His attacks on Mexicans, Muslims, women, the disabled, the sick, immigrants, as well as his vice president’s promise to outlaw same-sex marriage and LGBT rights do not enable us to produce news content that is authentically pleasant, respectful and truthful,” they said.`

“The Adobo Chronicles’ editors, staff reporters, photographers and iReporters belong to all the marginalized communities that Trump has belittled,” they added.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has been quite pleased with The Adobo Chronicles‘ fair and accurate reporting, has offered free office space in the presidential palace (Malacañang) for this Filipino-American news outlet.

The Adobo Chronicles will maintain its news bureaus in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Berlin, and Tokyo
