I think Trump wants to be Duterte. Seriously, Duterte is very strict in his moves against Daesh and he doesn't take no chit. He has stood up for the Phillipines and for himself on many occasions in the International arena. He has the support of his people because he is seen to do what needs to be done to preserve their heritage and culture and way of life. I am not familiar with the actual living standards in the Phillipines, but it is hard to equalize a standard when the cultures that propel the individual to reach certain levels or to own certain things comes from the attitude of the society in which they live. I have had family who lived for extended periods of time in Central American countries and Asian countries and they tell me that the people there do not go by the same standards as we do, so their living standards could pretty much equal ours in so much as the life they lead on a daily basis. My point being, that Duterte develops his country and tries to enrich the people at the same time, without making elaborate backroom deals like his predecessor did. He wants to rid his country of terrorists and drug dealers, and he shows them the same regard for life as they do, when it comes to punishing them for their crimes. He could care a hairs lick of they have suffered for being a terrorist, he knows who they are and what they intend to do and no one except the people of the Phillipines will be able to dissuade him from his course.

Trump wants the same thing, but he has the Deep State against him, if Trump can deep six the Deep State, America and the rest of the world are in for some as Bruce Springsteen might say, Glory Days!
