THE VATICAN, Italy – (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Pope Francis has rejected a request by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for a private audience when the leader of the Roman Catholic Church visits the United States September 22-27, 2015.

During his papal visit, Francis will meet with President and Mrs. Barack Obama, address a joint session of the U.S. Congress, speak before the United Nations General Assembly and attend a huge religious gathering in Philadelphia.

Trump has sent a letter to The Vatican requesting a short private audience with the Pope. The controversial candidate offered to fly the Pontiff to Las Vegas on his private jet for a meet and greet at the Trump Towers. “He wanted to seek the Pope’s advice on how to better reach out to America’s Catholic voters,” a Trump spokesperson said.image

In rejecting the request, Pope Francis said, “By the grace of God, I cannot agree to meet with someone who has denigraded migrants and hard-working people like the Mexicans. And Trump has the nerve to meet with me after his disparaging remarks about Latinos! Has he forgotten that I, too, am Latino? ”

Trump could not immediately be reached for comment.

DONALD TRUMP COMES CLEAN ABOUT HIS HAIR, BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS MAKEUP?

He put to rest rumors that he wears a toupee.  He called on a woman in the audience and asked her to touch his hair to prove that it was all au naturel.  The woman did confirm that it was.

Now that that’s settled, the new rumor is that The Donald wears makeup to conceal his eye bags.

imageMany in the media have long noticed that Trump’s photos and videos always showed what seemed to be a white   patch of cream or powder underneath his eyes.

Not that it makes any difference.  Media interest was more focused on which brand of concealer he uses: Mac or Clinique?

EXCLUSIVE: DONALD TRUMP PICKS ANN COULTER TO BE HIS VP RUNNING MATE

NEW YORK, New York (Exclusive to The Adobo Chronicles® ) – It’s cliché, but the saying, ‘Birds of the same feather flock together’ does hold true, especially in politics.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the Republican party where self-proclaimed leaders and their believers or followers find delight in singing the same tune.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump makes no secret about his disdain for Mexicans, calling them rapists, drug addicts and criminals and vowing to keep them out of the U.S. if he is elected president of the United States.

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter sings the same tune, and is probably even more vocal and blunt than Trump.  In a recent television interview, Coulter said: “I will bet you by the end of the weekend, more Americans will have been killed by Mexicans than by ISIS or by sharks.”

Today, Trump named Coulter as his vice presidential running mate. He made the announcement in an email to The Adobo Chronicles.

It is unconventional that a U.S. presidential aspirant would name his or her VP nominee even before he or she is officially proclaimed as the party’s nominee.

But nothing is conventional with Trump. And nothing is conventional either for Coulter.

As we mentioned, birds of the same feather flock together.

But whether or not  this flock wins this particular contest remains to be seen.
