Trump invites Philippines’ Duterte to the White House
While snubbing the Democracies of Australia, Sweden and Germany, President Trump saddles up to fascists Vladimir Putin of Russia, Tayyip Erdoğan of Turkey, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi of Egypt and now Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines. He even said the other day how he respected Kim Jong Un as a “smart cookie.” Sure Putin has had about 50 or 60 reporters murdered while Dutrete has had around 5000 drug suspects murdered bragging he has personally murdered several himself – throwing one out of a helicopter. What’s not to like? They all hate the press and curtail it by fear.
Putin and Duterte also have 80% approval ratings while poor Donald sits at half that. When Democrats are in the White House we hear a lot from Republicans about appeasement and Neville Chamberlain but not when Republicans actually do the appeasing.
That is called HYPOCRISY which does not matter one wit to Republican voters with the same going for facts, data, science, truth and reality.
Ronald Reagan did not just change the political direction of America by declaring the government the enemy of the people, but he, who went to church twice in his life, called the Jerry Falwell and the Religious Right into the Republican fold knowing they will believe anything if it is what they want to believe and is repeated long enough. And here we are with President Trump.
Trump has succeeded in adding to the democratically elected government as the enemy of Americans, but has now got them to believe that the Free Press is also the enemy of the people. Fascism on the rise, step by step.
Next step? As Reinse Priebus told us on the Sunday talk shows, President Trump is working on how to curtail the free fake press through more lawsuits. He said it proudly.
Once more for you, it is not flash in the pan Trump, it is the GOP that is the problem.
