LOS ANGELES, California  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has some harsh words for actor Matt Damon.

On Wednesday,  Damon described Trump’s speech on immigrants as “xenophobic,” “disgusting” and “dehumanizing” in an exclusive interview with EFE, the Spanish International News Agency.

Damon, 44, is married to an Argentine immigrant with whom he has three children.

The actor said he did not know “how to respond” to Trump’s comments, who had called illegal Mexicans “rapists” and “drug traffickers” and proposed deporting 11 million immigrants in the country and building a wall separating United States from Mexico.

“He is talking about anyone who lives south of our border in inhuman terms. He is talking about my wife, my daughters,” said Damon.

In response, Trump called Damon, ‘Anti- White’ and ‘Pro-Martian.’ “He should be deportd to planet Mars,” he said.

Damon is currently promoting his new movie “The Martian.”

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.

JEB BUSH: ANCHOR BABIES = ASIAN PEOPLE

Leave a comment

imageMCALLEN, Texas (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Realizing that his recent comments about ‘anchor babies’ could alienate him from Latino voters, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, tried to distance himself from his own statement.

Talking to reporters today, the younger brother of former President George W. Bush said that his comments  pertained more to “Asian people,” suggesting that the practice of coming to the United States to give birth to anchor babies was an Asian thing.

Asked if he had any factual basis that Asians are the ones resorting to anchor babies as a way to circumvent  the U.S. immigration system, Bush said, “I don’t have to give you facts. Just look at one of my Republican presidential opponents, Piyush Jindal. He’s a poster boy for anchor babies.”
