A Mass Murderer’s Love Song to Trump
And a sorry
deal for our
national
interest
J im h ightower
“We’ve
had a great
relationship,”
exulted a gid-
dy
Donald
Trump, fol-
lowing his two-day schmooze-
by
fest in Manila with the thuggish
Philippine president, Rodrigo
Duterte.
Duterte, who calls himself
a “toughie,” brags that he’s
personally killed many people
and likes to compare himself to
Hitler. He’s been on a murder-
ous rampage since his election
last year.
Trump didn’t bother his
authoritarian buddy with
any unpleasant talk about
those rampant human rights
abuses.

In the name of eliminating the
drug trade, Duterte has unleashed
a massive military assault across
the country, not merely targeting
dealers, but also anyone alleged to
even use drugs. His onslaught is a
human rights atrocity, with untold
thousands being executed in what
are antiseptically termed “extra ju-
dicial killings” — that is, murders.
Yet the present president of
the United States says Dute-
rte is his new buddy. Trump
stressed in their official discus-
sions that the Philippine presi-
dent can count on him and the
U.S. (which includes you and
me) to be a friend. And, as a
friend, Trump didn’t bother
his authoritarian buddy with
any unpleasant talk about those
rampant human rights abuses.
Instead, the Duterte-Trump
get-together was one of mu-
tual praise and even affection.
Indeed, Trump was delight-
ed when Duterte impulsively
grabbed the microphone at a
gala state dinner and serenad-
ed Trump with a love ballad,
crooning: “You are the love
I’ve been waiting for.”
In fact, Duterte had earlier
demonstrated that love when
he named Jose Antonio to be
his trade representative to our
country. Antonio, a Philippine
real estate mogul, happens to
be a partner with our president
in the luxurious new Trump
Tower, now under construction
in Manila. Cozy, huh?
Hugging up Duterte might
be good business for Trump,
but it’s a sorry deal for our na-
tional interest — and it’s an in-
sult to our people’s support of
human rights.
