Trump told Duterte he was doing an Amazing job On his murderous drug war.

If the "transcript" is true (it probably is) then that means he really didn't understand what they have been doing. Shows that he is inexperienced and unfit.

Or respects the drive of the person without agreeing with his actions.. Didn't Duterte tell Obama to F off a couple of times...lol

He seems to admire people like Duterte and Erdogan.......

Either one of these shows the man shouldnt have been elected.......

You see that is your problem... Duterte WAS elected...lol Is actually liked by the population that elected him... It seems that you have little to fear if you do not sell drugs or are not corrupt like 99% of the country...

What I find interesting is many actually turned themselves in to avoid what they saw coming their way.

Right right..you don't have to fear anything if you do not sell drugs, are corrupt or a political opponent of the mental midget called Duterte.
Easy to support a totalitarian leader while you live in the comfort of the western world and enjoying all freedoms of democracy. I Bet you would be singing a different tune after 1 month in Philippines

Not to speak for Xtrozero, but I believe his point was that the people in HIS country like him.

I think he would agree with me (and apparently you) that I would never want someone like him.

So perhaps you have it wrong. Perhaps our privilege of living where we do is why we can condemn the people in his country that like him.

I can only imagine that if he is liked, they must have truly been living through hell before this.

This is brilliant other than the fact people in the Philippines elected him and love the guy.

Its only ridiculous because you read it here first.

If you heard presenters on the news suggesting it it wouldnt seem so ridiculous.

We may live in the greatest country on earth but that doesnt mean are country cant be even greater but to be greater mabey we should make sacirfices. And mabey those sacrifices begin with scrapping the old religion and misconception of what to many people think makes america america.

Hint: It aint no 18th century paperwork.

Sure he's free to say that in our free country. And we are free to criticize him. We are also free to say that he is incredibly retarded and unfit to be our president.

a reply to: Deaf Alien

Even if he were retarted that wouldnt make him wrong.

Its an unpopular opinion but mabey its the correct opinion.

See, thats your problem......many tyrants through out history were elected.....that doesnt make the things that they do right or any less egregious.........

It seems that you have little to fear if you do not sell drugs or are not corrupt like 99% of the country isn't..

The problem with tyranny is its the ones who are enacting the harsh penalties that get to decide what is a violation and worthy of the punishment......

I have a problem executing people in the streets without due process......you cant call yourself a conservative and agree with what he does......nor should you find comfort in the fact that Trump does.....you know, unless youre just for totalitarian or authoritarian rule.......

perhaps you should read up on history before trying to tell me what my "problems" are

a reply to: schuyler


I suppose that means Trump will be going after the CIA for moving Afghanistan, poppy juice. Which might mean he has taken a step to far.

Hes a known troll, dont engage and dont feed.........its fine.........

hes just trying to derail and get a rise out of people.........when people point it out he stops responding and moves to another thread......the account is apparently an old puppet account........

As to the body of it all........

Yeah there president is free to do what he wants under their law.........however......

its really easy to say that everyone supports you , when they are afraid they are going to be shot down in the streets.........

Thats no joke man.....some are....hell we had a thread today advocating the mass killing of terrorists families......that thread was horrible with the ideas coming out , rounding up whole groups of people and killing them for their religion....and not extremists.....

Im desturbed as of late as to the direction of thinking here on ATS by an increasing amount of members........

Maybe they have always felt this way and now they feel emboldened, I dunno....

But what I do know is that suspending rights of the people, advocating for whole sale slaughter of people in the streets without trial, and killing people for non violent crimes is not the answer.....

I also know that leadership that finds this acceptable is UNACCEPTABLE.......Trump is looking more and more dangerous and inept by the day......

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask

Dude I am with you brother. I am glad that thread got shut down.
I worry about our future.

When he was running he told the Philippine people what he was going to do. This wasn't a secret he didn't hide his plans to kill drug dealers. This is apparently what the Phillipines people chose to solve their problems. Most western countries would not understand what Phillipine people have gone through.
