Drag queen Trinity The Tuck amused netizens on Wednesday, February 16, after she retweeted the endorsement of actress Carmi Martin for Vice President and presidential candidate Leni Robredo.
Probably the reason why Trinity retweeted Martin’s post on Sunday, February 11–because Martin is the “Lana del Rey of the Philippines.”
Lana del Ray is an American singer-songwriter.

Netizens were certainly entertained by the retweet.
One even said, “Trinity the Tuck rt-ed this. I love this energy.”

However, it also spread confusion.
Some even thought that Robredo is starting to receive support across the globe because of Trinity.

Music icon Cher, on the other hand, did not mistakenly endorse Robredo. In a twitter reply, she showed her support to the presidential aspirant.

Meanwhile, a twitter personality jest that the Philippines is actually a “neocolony of the United States” because of Trinity.
