Duterte: Trump says Philippines tackling drug problem 'the right way' 2

(CNN) President-elect Donald Trump told Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte that he is going about his controversial fight against drugs "the right way," Duterte said.
Duterte says he was greatly pleased with the "rapport" he had with the newly elected U.S. president..
Duterte made the comments to reporters in Davao City on Saturday after a brief phone call last night with President-elect Donald Trump. Government officials earlier passed along snippets of their conversation.
"He was quite sensitive to our war on drugs and he wishes me well in my campaign and said that we are doing, as he so put it, 'the right way,' " the President said.
Washington has been critical of the Philippines handling of drug dealers, including extrajudical killings -- government executions without the benefit of judicial proceedings. That has sparked Duterte's resentment.
Duterte's verbal tirades and tilt away from Washington have raised many eyebrows since he took office in May.
While on a trip to China in October, Duterte said that "America has lost," and that he has realigned himself with China's "ideological flow." He later clarified his comments about relations with the United States saying he was rather pursuing a "separation of foreign policy" from the US.
But Duterte was pleased over the exchange with Trump.
He described Trump as "animated" and said they talked about "a lot of things." Duterte said he told Trump Filipinos "are tight with America" and wished Trump success.
"He was wishing me success in my campaign against the drug problem. He understood the way we are handling it and he said there is nothing wrong with protecting your country. It was very encouraging in the sense that I suppose that what he wanted to say was that he would be the last to interfere in the affairs of our own country. "
Both men extended travel invitations to the other.
"He has invited me to visit New York and Washington DC. He said if I am around he wants to be notified of my presence. And I mentioned to him about the ASEAN Summit next year and he said he would try his best to be here. He wants to attend the summit and that would be great for our country. I could sense a good rapport."
Trump's transition team passed along a comment about the call but didn't mention Duterte's war on drugs.
"Duterte "offered his congratulatory wishes to President-elect Trump. In their conversation, they noted the long history of friendship and cooperation between the two nations, and agreed that the two governments would continue to work together closely on matters of shared interest and concern."

Of course Trump supports that evil president. That shouldn't be a surprise to any one.

As the revised version of the drug war goes, it was used an illicit fundraiser.
Trump then says to let BRICS pick up the mess.
Trump says that Obama was the inventor of ISIS, and let Russia take care of Syrian terrorists. Let Duterte take care of Islamists.
Whose Islamists. Not mine. Are they your Islamists?

Yup America is going to be officially great again and anyone who says different will get 10 years in jail for treason. But the price of a bullet is much cheaper then keeping a person in jail for even one day and Trump is known for being cost effective. Better learn to goose step in line or else!

The way I see it trump dont care about their country and he is trying to improve foreign relations for the benefit of the usa. Who cares what happens in the Philippines as long as it improves foreign relations? Besides it's their country and culture not ours. Time for the us to stop focusing on other nations and what their leaders do and start focusing on fixing our own problems.
I dont believe in what is happening there. I believe in letting them handle it for themselves.

Also, with his view that encryption in it self means you have something to hide... I wonder how this site will fare in the next four years.

exactly what he fucking said. Lets focus on our own problems, not other people... Even though i thought Trump was all for legalizing drugs... At least thats what i read when i did research on him so... let me understand... Trump is not going to legalize drugs?

The US is really in no position to lecture anyone about extrajudicial killing. Unless it's a lecture on how to do it using drones.

this is a *fairly* innocent site compared to many others. if shroomery ever is taken down by the govt, oh man. Itd just be a horrible sign of the things to come. Its really just a source of harm reduction and education. Nothing wrong with mycology either. What really bothers me are the people who supposedly support psychedelics but still helped this mofo get elected. Even a gay friend. Can't people see when they're shooting themselves in the foot? And then they start thinking about it once announcements are made, maybe regretting their decision.

As much as i hate trump and this story wouldn't surprise me, trump isn't the one saying this.
Duterte is. If trump says it publicly then i will be fucking worried and type away online all day, but right now it's fucking duterte saying it. He says whatever the fuck he can to get attention and be relevant.
So until i see sources of trunp specifically saying it, I'll still have some glimmer of hope in this country.

Maybe, the quotes or small quotes are inaccurate.
Maybe, the visit is considered a tacit approval, of Duterte's methods.
