One of us! One of us!

No, seriously, it's kinda nice to find out recently that a bunch of you all have to deal with these kinds of idiots, too.

President Donald Trump on Saturday invited Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte to the White House.

Duterte has been criticized following an aggressive crackdown on drug users and dealers in the South-east Asian country, which human rights groups have said included the use of death squads.

From News and Guts:

Duterte has:

*Been responsible for more than 7000 deaths.
*Been accused of crimes against humanity.
*Been accused of extra judicial killings.
*Been condemned by leaders around the world.

At a press conference in Qatar earlier this month, Duterte compared himself to Trump, praising him as "a realistic and a pragmatic thinker."

I've seen vocally anti-Trump Filipinos try to defend Duterte.

So apparently, Andrew Jackson was "really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War," despite that war happening 16 years after he died.

Can't wait to see how the MAGAts defend that one.

Separately, I've also noticed in a lot of interviews....Trump has difficulty putting complete sentences together

[Crazed_Insanity]

They really should limit his interviews and just let him tweet.

I'd like to hear how Trump will defend himself on that one... ideally, in real time during the actual interview itself.

Now, regarding this media story..., did the interviewer question Trump and allowed him to respond? Why is this 'unaired' interview already causing a huge stir on the internet? When will the interview be actually made available to the rest of us? Article said it will be aired on Monday, but didn't specifiy any time nor channel for us to actually see it... Are we now in the habit of making judgments on somebody before we even see it? Interesting times we live in.

No, they should NOT AT ALL let him tweet. that's much of the conflict right now is that very complicated domestic and international matters CAN NOT be delegated to 140 characters, but sadly that's about as far as his attention span goes.

Next Interview: Trump wonders why Churchill didn't step in and help during the first Gulf War.
