DAY 124: Trump praised Duterte for killing people on the street

A transcript of Donald Trump's call with Rodrigo Duterte, The Philippines authoritarian president, circulated today in the press, showing Trump actually praised Duterte for killing people on the street without a trial for suspicion of dealing drugs.

According to The New York Times, the transcrip includes the following statements by Trump to Duterte:

“I just wanted to congratulate you because I am hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug problem. 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.”

The transcript also revealed Trump was the one who invited Duterte to the White House, a visit that has been widely condemned because of the violations of human rights Duterte's policies have caused.

In other words, Trumo doesn't care about human rights.

UDPATE: Oh, and by the way: Just for posturing, Trump also told Duterte he has two nuclear submarines off the coast of North Korea, which is classified information. In other words, Trump is leaking classified information just to brag.
