Double Speak. The President said yesterday: I could never be misinformed. I'm a lawyer. Just a whiff of corruption, even if it's not true, we say goodbye to each other. The layers: Are lawyers NEVER misinformed? Do lawyers decide on something even if it's not true? Do lawyers act on allegations and rumors against anyone at all? Is a whiff of anything equal to getting complete information about an issue? For someone who keeps saying he ain't perfect, he's no statesman, this President speaks like he's omniscient half the time, throwing around highly questionable assertions like polygamy is normal, all men have two, three, four women, drug users are pushers, the poor killed in the drug war are part of the drug apparatus. There has to be a line drawn somewhere about these dangerous incredible proclamations. It might be exactly what his followers like to hear -- the brusqueness, the imperfections-- but the Presidency is not about keeping your fans club happy. #Duterte #Rhetoric #Signs #FrothingAtTheMouth #Philippines #Pilipinas #PresidentDuterte
