“There will never be a time that I will go to America during my term, or even thereafter,” Duterte said on Friday, as quoted by Reuters.

My friends: Don’t you think there’s an element of truth to what he says? He doesn’t mess around. Can we say the same?

This guy is a psycho tyrant. I remember folks singing this guyz praise for his efforts to clean up the drug problem in his country....that is until he had his gangs of thugs murdering people...even those who didn't use or peddle drugs.

I say, we should deny his entry into the U.S..

There are no US bases in the Philippines and haven’t been for years.

He’s partially correct. Each and every town led by folks who support Duarte is a lousy town.

Wanna guess the party of those vermin...er...folks?

The Filipinos who were liberated by America from the Japanese sure didn't see it that way.

Rodrigo Duterte never going to step foot in America because the deep state would kill him. Ending crime by eliminating drugs is not a success story they want to admit.

His native tongue isnt Tagalog, its Visayan.
He does speak Tagalog very well though, and English.

There arent very many US troops there, and no actual bases.
A few US service personnel rotate through there using Philippine bases.
Some are being “secretly” helpful re the Muslim troubles.

Ok Duterte, but when the Muslim rebels are knocking on your door, don’t come crying to us.

They’re not there anymore. Don’t know where they went.
But if the US were to set up new bases, I suppose they will show up soon enough.
