WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – When Donald and Melania Trump officially move into the White House, there will be no pancit or chicken adobo on the family menu, just potato tot casserole and pumpkin pie.

The president-elect has informed The Adobo Chronicles that he is firing Filipina White House Executive Chef Cristeta Comerford.  She will be replaced by Paula Deen, American celebrity chef and former TV cooking show host.

Paula Deen made headlines when a video surfaced in which Deen, in a deposition, admits to using the N-word and making racist and anti-semitic jokes. She also allegedly described her interest in hiring black waiters dressed to look like “slaves” at a wedding.Jun 19, 2013.

Trump himself has been criticized for racist remarks during his presidential campaign.

Birds of the same feather…

IMG_6968.PNGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Hundreds of thousands of immigrants who have become naturalized citizens and who voted for Donald Trump are now regretting their choice for president.

County elections offices across the country have reported that they have been receiving letters and petitions from groups like Latinos for Trump and Asian Americans for Trump asking that the their members be allowed to change their vote for president.

The letters and petitions started coming in immediately after Trump announced that deportations of as many of 3 million undocumented immigrants have begun.

The groups said that there is just six degrees of separation between their members and immigrants that are being targeted for deportation. “In our communities, everyone is practically related to each other,” they added.

They are lamenting the fact that there will be a lot of families that will be separated from their loved ones as a result of the deportations.

It’s not better to be sorry than late.

IMG_6228.JPGWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – While Donald Trump’s transition team is busy vetting the potential members of the new administration’s Cabinet, the president-elect has announced that his first state visit as president would be to the Philippines.  It is scheduled on January 28-30, 2017, right after his inauguration.

He is scheduled to visit with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte who has often been referred to by the media as the Donald Trump of the Philippines.

Trump said, “I can’t wait to personally meet Duterte.  I will be seeking his advice on how best to deal with critics and non-supporters while  getting away with controversial rhetoric and cuss phrases aimed at powerful individuals like Pope Francis and Barack Obama.”

Included in the agenda of the Trump-Duterte meeting is the issue of China.  During his campaign, Trump has consistently criticized China on unfair trade and other issues  (despite the fact that his “Make America Great Again” hats were made in China.) Duterte, on the other hand, has announced to the world that the Philippines was aligning itself with China, a sore point that the United States is not happy about.”

While in Manila, Trump will be a special guest of the Miss Universe Pageant which will be held on January 29 (January 30 in the Philippines.) Trump used to own the pageant, and he says he misses it a lot.
