DONALD TRUMP TO TREVOR NOAH: ‘SHOW ME YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE’

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Real estate mogul Donald Trump just can’t let go of his birther rants, and he seems to be getting more and more desperate about his misplaced crusade.

Trump led the charge on the view that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, and questioned the authenticity of the president’s publicly-released copy of his Hawaii birth certificate.

On the same day that Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced that he was running for president, Trump suggested that the Republican senator may not be eligible to become president because he was born in Canada. Cruz , of course, has maintained that he is eligible to be president since he was born to an American mother, despite having been born in Calgary, Alberta. He was a dual citizen until 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.

Today, Trump launched his latest birther attack against Trevor Noah who, just this week, was named successor to Jon Stewart who would be stepping down as host of the satirical ‘The Daily Show’ sometime this year.

“I need you to show your birth certificate,’ Trump challenged Noah, ‘to prove that you are truly African American.’

Apparently, Trump missed that part of Comedy Central’s announcement and the subsequent media coverage of Noah’s appointment, stating that the biracial comedian is, in fact, from South Africa, born to a South African mom and a German dad.

When informed about Noah’s non-U.S. citizenship, Trump immediately turned his attention back to Miss Japan, Ariana Miyamoto, a half-Japanese and half-African American who will represent her country in the next Miss Universe Beauty Pageant which he owns.

Earlier, Trump had announced that he would disqualify Miss Japan from competing in Miss Universe because of her biracial status.

(VIDEO) AMERICA RUNNING OUT OF WHITE MALE COMEDIANS FOR LATE-NIGHT SHOWS

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) –  It’s been a while since America has seen a black late-night show host in the person of Arsenio Hall (late 1980’s to mid 1990’s).

White male comedians and talk show hosts have dominated late nights on the boob tube.  But are they now a dying breed in America? Apparently so. They’re all retiring or moving on to something new — the likes of David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.  And the television networks are having a very hard time finding their replacements who are, well — male and white.

On Monday, Comedy Central announced that Trevor Noah, a biracial South African  will replace Jon Stewart as the new host of “The Daily Show” when the latter steps down later this year.

One can just imagine the shock with which White America learned of Stewart’s replacement. “Comedy Central is going nuts,” said one late-night TV redneck fan. “How dare they put someone on late night TV who looks like just 13% of the population?”

“He’s not even an American,” quipped another talk show enthusiast from Texas. (Nevermind that talk show hosts Craig Ferguson is Scottish and both James Cordon and John Oliver are Brits).

Noah will become the second black late-night show host when he takes over ‘The Daily Show,’ joining Larry Wilmore, who is also black, host of ‘The Nightly Show.’

As the British like to say, “Keep Calm” America, White is on the way out. Black is in. Can we all just get along?
