I’ve been pretty quiet about Trump, but if this is true — if he is encouraging the murder of drug addicts — then the man is worse than I imagined possible.
I respect disagreements over policy positions, but encouraging outright murder of people for having what is a medical problem crosses a line in a big way.
A line which separates civilization from barbarism.
I’d say “this does it for me,” except the news is secondhand, and I have not heard this stuff actually coming from Trump.

If only he could make the same sort of choice to head the even more oppressive DEA!

The Philippine President is a tyrant when it comes to drug laws and enforcement. He is hard core.
Umm. He’s a pragmatist. Not what CNN would have you believe.

Sure, you are going to believe the master’s of fake news … CNN or Huffpo. My rule is always and foremost “Consider the source.” And then there is the issue of what Duterte, in his own self serving way, reports what was said with no confirmation from Trumps’side. Who you gonna believe?
