It’s not idiotic by any means but you can’t please everyone. Unless of course, one doesn’t care about people dying, as long as it isn’t themselves.
Are you implying that those who dislike Duterte don’t care about people dying? Because that’s just incorrect.
The whole problem with Duterte is that he openly advocates for genocide/mass murder. The guy favorably compared himself to Hitler!
There is no need to put words in my mouth, I am not implying anything of the sort, and I know who he is and what he’s said. Now, people who don’t like Trump might think it’s idiotic of him to even try some civil dialog to help save lives, and I would say that thought alone is idiotic.
