Even prior to winning the election, the senator made numerous tirades against the president and warns that the Philippines will experience another Martial Rule during his presidency.

Many regard Antonio Trillanes IV is the next nemesis of the Duterte administration. The senator supports Senator Leila Delima's vicious comments against the Duterte administration.

Trillanes is also accused of having multiple offshore accounts and vowed to resign as a senator if he is proven guilty by the president.
