Trump Praised Philippines President Duterte For Drug War That Has Killed 9,000 People
    #24345643 - 05/24/17 09:57 AM (6 years, 8 months ago)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-duterte-drug-war-call_us_5924a046e4b0650cc01fd23c


President Donald Trump opened a brief April phone call with Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte by commending the strongman’s bloody war on drugs, according to a transcript obtained by The Washington Post and the The Intercept.

“I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem,” said Trump. “Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that.”

Trump then criticized former President Barack Obama, who had spoken out against Duterte’s violent anti-drug offensive that has killed an estimated 9,000 people, including many small-time users and dealers.

“I understand that and fully understand that and I think we had a previous president who did not understand that, but I understand that and we have spoken about this before,” Trump said, according to the transcript.

A senior Trump administration official told the Post the transcript is accurate, but would not speak on the record about a “leaked” document.

The transcript, provided to the outlets by a source in the Philippines and authenticated by Rappler, a Philippines news outlet that partnered with the Intercept, is further confirmation of Trump’s uncharacteristic friendliness toward autocratic world leaders. It also is likely to raise fears that harsh rhetoric from Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on what they call the scourge of drug abuse and addiction may give way to more militant action in the future.

In his call with Trump, Duterte similarly called drugs “the scourge of my nation,” according to the transcript.

White House officials initially characterized the April call as “a very friendly conversation,” during which Trump had invited Duterte to visit Washington. That development reportedly surprised White House staffers and drew widespread condemnation from human rights groups, which have accused Duterte of condoning a lawless drug war that has terrorized the nation with a campaign of extrajudicial killings carried out by vigilantes and police officers. Duterte has seemingly embraced this barbaric depiction, comparing himself with Adolf Hitler on a mission to kill millions of drug addicts.

“By essentially endorsing Duterte’s murderous war on drugs, Trump is now morally complicit in future killings,” John Sifton, Asia advocacy director of Human Rights Watch, told The New York Times in April. “Although the traits of his personality likely make it impossible, Trump should be ashamed of himself.”

Michael Collins, deputy director of national affairs at the Drug Policy Alliance, a nonprofit that supports the progressive reform of drug laws, called Trump’s remarks “a new low.”

“It fills me with disgust to see the U.S. president congratulate someone who has overseen the massacre of thousands of his own people in the name of the war on drugs,” Collins said in a statement to HuffPost. “The U.S. government should be urging restraint and respect for human rights; instead Trump gives Duterte’s deadly drug war his seal of approval.”


Trump’s support for Duterte’s tactics also mark a significant departure from the policies of Obama’s administration, which had shown a willingness to confront the Philippines president on the issue of drug enforcement. Ahead of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in September, Obama said he’d bring up the drug war during a planned meeting with Duterte, because he believed in the need to “have due process and to engage in that fight against drugs in a way that’s consistent with basic international norms.”

Duterte responded by calling Obama a Taglog phrase for “son of a bitch,” and the meeting was canceled.

Trump and Duterte, during their call, also discussed escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula, and expressed concerns about North Korean leader Kim Jung Un, whom Trump called a “madman with nuclear weapons.” Days later, Trump said he’d be “honored” to meet with the North Korean dictator.

Trump and Duterte agreed that China would play a pivotal role in keeping North Korea in check, and warding off the possibility of military action.

“We have a lot of firepower over there. We have two submarines – the best in the world – we have two nuclear submarines – not that we want to use them at all,” said Trump, according to the transcript. “I’ve never seen anything like they are but we don’t have to use this but he could be crazy so we will see what happens.”

there are people that love Trump and will follow anything blindly.  They think because they have a few bucks that they are ok.

We may all lose everything.  If your alive you really only have your intelligence.

I don't think drugs are always the answer.  They aren't always the blame.

Drug Wars simply DO NOT work.

The punishment for drug trafficking in Indonesia is death by firing squad, and people STILL bring drugs into the country.

That Trump praised slaughter of drug users and addicts as "an unbelievable job on the drug problem" is beyond disturbing and disgusting.

:sad:

Realistically the more strict your drug policies are the more violent and dangerous drug dealers/traffickers will become. If they know they will be getting the death penalty if they get caught then you can rest assured they will kill anybody they need to kill to be able to operate freely. Not only that but the less drugs are available on the streets the more they are worth. So you will basically be making the most fearless and dangerous drug cartels richer and richer. All the while not doing shit to solve the "drug problem". These politicians will never learn :facepalm:

I agree.  There will always be tough organized criminals that are utilized for illegal trade.

Trump wants to be tough but I don't think he could hold his own much.

Trump has not ever touched alcohol at all or as we know, any other drug.  I don't think he realized the power of these substances. 

There is so much hate over drugs and favoritism of this drug or that.

I see no clear solutions for every societal issue that ever was or will ever be.

Human nature, being what it is, I would frankly be surprised, if Duterte is not intimately involved with the drug trade.

Everytime there has ever been a sumptuary law, in all of history, the luxury item, whatever it is, gets doled-out preferentially, and trickles down, from that govt.

Black markets are usually derivatives of a state monopoly, imhblo.

They just hate what they can't control.  The great illusion is control and many think they are masters at control.

They really aren't, they are simply evil.  They really believe their ego is a higher power.

They get pissed when other people invalidate them.

These are not wise people, but good criminals.

Trump has no regard for human rights. He acts only in his own interests, often at the expense of others. What a great and wonderful president we have :rolleyes:

Not to mention he literally sounds like a retard... I feel bad using that term as compared to trump Trump people with disabilities look like ghandi...

Quote:

“I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem,” said Trump. “Many countries have the problem, we have a problem, but what a great job you are doing and I just wanted to call and tell you that.”


“I understand that and fully understand that and I think we had a previous president who did not understand that, but I understand that and we have spoken about this before,” Trump said, according to the transcript.





So sickening he can just casually talk about killing innocent civilians like it's sall talk.

"Great job man, obama wasn't down you know but I really know what's up and you're doing a great job bro"

That's how I read that...


--------------------
Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky

You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by

I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me

I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

if the president of the united states is causing you to have negative feelings in your life, you're probably a bigger problem to society than the president himself.

I don't like the guy but it really doesn't fucking matter. you ain't changing shit complaining. You're just making the people who do like him like him even more.

I don't think he's ruined any lives. Not my life, anyway. Some people don't like him as president, mostly because he's an idiot. And a Russian puppet.

It's highly unlikely anyone here is more of a problem on society than a president like that.

and so what if he is a Russian puppet. the country that's started less foreign aggression, has less nuclear armament, beat us to diversity. yet is portrayed as somewhat drab and sinister and even evil by our education and media.
A country full of people just like us that don't need calculators to make change, can drink us under the table, and figured out that government control overdone is a terrible thing already.

The problem is that everything he does is for show. Do you have any idea how much blow this guy has done? He doesn't care about anything.

We aren't upset, just a lot of people think xenophobic aggression and backwards policy making is at an all time high. This is what you get when capitalism goes completely off the rails... you get a reality tv competition rather than an election.

I think the people who are complicit are the biggest problem. This is unacceptable and we need to acknowledge that so the human race can avoid this mistake in the future.

I agree with your sentiments about Russia and the presidency in general, but my main qualm with the Trump presidency is how it seems to be going backwards when it comes to drugs. I knew regardless of who we ended up with we'd be in for a wild ride but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little happy about the infamous Hillary's defeat :lol:

As if we control elections. As if the government doesn't win every election. As if Trump really is really more than a face to business as usual.

Complicit is complaining it does nothing. No change is made
Living your life in a way that makes government obsolete and trying to rub that off on others. Idk but at least it will do more to change tomorrow than saying he sucks, we all fucking know
