Where is the approval.... calling someone smart is not approval too.
He may be a lot of speculative adjectives but he is also ABSOLUTELY watched in everything he does. I would argue more so than any past POTUS.

If Trump is so smart and intelligent, maybe he should think before he speaks and choose his words wisely.

Very funny. Talk about the favorite line of Trump supporters... "Trump won, get over it." Maybe they should follow their own advice...Obama and Hillary is not the current president, get over it!

So you're saying that he didn't publicly state that citizens can feel free to shoot drug dealers themselves without repercussions?
He actually commissioned hit squads AND he claims to have thrown one out of his helicopter.

And? Good riddance. Do you really think his approval rating would be that high if they hunted down innocent people? The police is still working as intended you know. It's not like law enforcement just packed up and went home. Seriously people quit believing useless media propaganda. Trump should execute every cartel member on the mexican border too. Get rid of them alltogether. Since when are people so concerned with the well being of criminals? Kill'em all for i care.

Let's put it in context! He said he was a "smart cookie" on the way he gained power at such a young age. Conveniently ignoring the fact on how Kim executed his uncle and military advisors who questioned his authority. It clearly shows how Trump justified his rise to power giving his approval to Kim's immoral murderous behavior in doing so. To ignore that fact is stupidity and ignorance.

Calling a dictator smart, when it's a known fact Kim executed those who questioned his authority, is definitely approval. This is more twisting Trump's words to excuse what came out of the horses mouth. If Trump is so smart and intelligent, maybe he should think before he speaks and choose his words wisely. If Obama or Hillary said the same thing, I wouldn't hesitate calling them out too! You and many Trump supporters would be doing the same. To deny that fact, would clearly show party bias, which many who are affiliated with either party are guilty of doing.

Dictator of the Philippines? You could not be more clueless. You mean the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRESIDENT whom the people OVERWHELMINGLY support, who is doing EXACTLY what the people want him to do?
My wife is a Filipino, trust me, you are not well informed.
Rape comments
At a campaign rally on April 12, 2016, Duterte told supporters that, as Mayor, he thought he "should have been first" to rape Jacqueline Hamill, an Australian missionary who was gang-raped and killed during the 1989 Davao hostage crisis. He recalled examining her corpse:
"When the bodies were brought out, they were wrapped.
I looked at her face, son of a bitch, she looks like a beautiful American actress.
Son of a bitch, what a waste.
What came to my mind was, they raped her, they lined up.
Was I angry because she was raped? Yes, that's one thing.
But she was so beautiful, I think the mayor should have been first. What a waste."
After being condemned for his comments, Duterte later apologized for the incident and acknowledged the comment as a "bad remark" saying he regretted his "gutter language" but would not apologize for being misinterpreted.
He insists though that the remark was not a "joke" as reported by some media outlets, saying that he stated it in a narrative. He further said that he was not apologizing for stating the remark reasoning that he made the remark out of "utter anger" when he recalled the events. He threatened to sever diplomatic ties with the US and Australia, if elected, after their ambassadors criticized his comments.
His daughter Sara Duterte subsequently announced on social media that she was a rape victim, but would still vote for her father.
He said that he doubted her story, jokingly referring to her as a "drama queen".

He won with only 38% of the vote...
Here is your hero saying he wished he had raped an Australian Missionary before she was murdered.
