DONALD TRUMP: ‘I USED TO BE BLACK’

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Realizing that he needs black voters to seal the Republican presidential nomination and eventually the presidency,  Donald Trump today  told reporters that he ‘used to be black.’

He revealed for the first time  that as a young child, he suffered from vitiligo, a chronic skin condition characterized by the skin losing pigment. It occurs when skin pigment cells die or are unable to function.  It is the same condition that the late Michael Jackson reportedly suffered from.

Trump absolutely needs the black vote after he angered Hispanic voters when he said during his presidential bid announcement that Mexico is sending   to America immigrants who are rapists, drug addicts and criminals.

A total of 17.8 million blacks voted in the 2012 presidential elections.   Some 66.2% of eligible black voters voted, compared to 64.1% of non-Hispanic whites who did so.

Upon hearing of his revelation, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson challenged Trump to release a copy of his birth certificate to prove that he really was black.

Canadian Ted Cruz and Cuban Marco Rubio joined Carson in demanding that Trump show proof of this race.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton just released her first official political  ad and already, pundits are praising it as one of the most brilliant campaign ads America has ever seen.

In the ad, Clinton talks about her late mother Dorothy  who brought her up in a loving family.

Dorothy was abandoned by her parents at age 8 and began to work for a family at age 14.  It was then that she saw what it is like when parents love and provide for their children and families.

Clinton then looks straight into the camera, saying that it is because of her mom and all the other Dorothy’s in America, that she is running for president.

With this ad, she won the hearts and minds (and most likely the votes) of the 1, 166,352 Americans with the first name Dorothy.

Dorothy is the 30th most popular name in the U.S., according to the  website howmanyofme.com

Maybe, Clinton’s next ad will talk about her husband Bill, and address all the William’s in America of which there are 3,943,457 (the 6th most popular first name in the U.S.

NEW POLL SHOWS DONALD TRUMP LEADING AT 40%, THANKS TO HIS HUNTER SONS AND CECIL THE LION

1 Comment

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – No publicity is bad publicity.

A new  Adobo Chronicles® poll shows Donald Trump leading all  Republican candidates for president by 40%, up from 20% the previous week.

Trump’s surge has been attributed to the killing of Cecil, the Zimbabwe lion by an American dentist, an incident that has outraged Americans and elicited worldwide condemnation of the sport of hunting. But what has Cecil got to do with Trump?

This week, gory photos of his trophy-hunting sons Eric and Don, Jr.  resurfaced online, tying his family to the very practice that has sparked fierce backlash in recent days.image

When asked for his response at a press conference in Scotland this week, Trump was reportedly far from condemning of the fact that his sons had a hobby of killing innocent animals, too.
“My sons love to hunt,” The Telegraph and The Daily Mail report Trump said, though he reportedly refused to directly address shooting endangered animals. “They are members of the NRA (National Rifle Association)  very proudly. I am a big believer in the Second Amendment. But my sons are hunters, Eric is a hunter and I would say he puts it on a par with golf, if not ahead of golf. My other son, Don, is a hunter. They’re great marksman, great shots, they love it.”

An analysis of the new poll results shows that the respondents that gave Trump a overhwelming lead were card-carrying members of the NRA and American millionnaires whose families participate in killing animals for sports.
