Senator
Antonio Trillanes IV is back!
Fresh
from his unexplainable trip in the United States he is now, faced of an issue
where a major broadsheet – the Philippine
Star columnist ( HIDDEN AGENDA. Ms. Mary
Ann LL. Reyes) in her column titled “ A major embarrassment” published that:
“For US President
Donald Trump, Sen. Antonio Trillanes is a small fry, someone not worth wasting
his time, a nobody. *

While onboard Air Force
One, Trump was reportedly asked by a reporter about Trillanes’ visit to the US
and this is what the President said: “The little narco met with Senator Marco
(referring to US Senator Marco Rubio).”
The reporter asked
Trump if it is true that Trillanes was trying to convince him to skip the East
Asia Summit scheduled in Manila on Nov. 14.
Trump responded:
“Senator who? Like I said senator who? The lil narco who met Marco? Who’d he
get a visa? Isn’t he wanted, doesn’t he have an arrest warrant or something?”
It has been reported
that Trillanes went to the US recently to campaign for President Trump not to
attend the ASEAN meetings and ultimately snub President Duterte who is hosting
and leading the event.
But of course, Trillanes is denying that was the purpose of his
visit, especially after his major embarrassment.
President Trump stressed he is definitely going to Manila to
meet the main guy. “A leaders’ leader, man’s man Rody, we talk from time to
time, He’s the head of ASEAN right now and when you do deal, you deal with the
boss.”
If I were Trillanes, I would bury my head in the sand, or better
disappear into thin air. How many times has he embarrassed himself for Christ’s
sake? Remember his controversial interview with BBC
Hardtalk news anchor Stephen Sackur during which the latter observed that
Trillanes’ views on the President and his policies were out of tune and
inharmonious with public sentiment? *
Trillanes: FAKE NEWS
In a text message,
Trillanes said: “That's fake news. They can't even cite the news outfit that
conducted the interview.”
"In the first place,
those senior US government officials would not meet with me if I had dubious
credentials," the senator said. "Moreover, a significant remark like
that would've been captured by mainstream media and not released through
bloggers, fake news websites and tabloid columns." The senator said.
Trillanes met
with US Senator Marco Rubio last month. Rubio confirmed the meeting,
saying they discussed “US-Philippines alliance, combating corruption, and
protecting human rights amid their narcotics crisis.”
