There have been many pro-American publishers sharing articles that highlight the pro-American negative geopolitical view of President Duterte's actions. It is ironic, however, how the anti-Duterte rhetoric initially started by Obama and his minions that is not necessarily being used by Trump, is being used by Republicans.
First of all, with the massive drug problem in the US and the government unable to control the problem, despite its police and military prowess; it is very disgusting to see criticism of President Duterte's methods to destroy the drug problem coming from the same people who wish illegal drugs eliminated in America.
Second of all, Americans who conclude Duterte's colonial gripes with the US as mere whining, fail to see that his arguments are indeed, factual.
Duterte consistently qualifies his position based on history that Americans today refuse to recognize. Americans seem to forget how the US was imperialistic in that they brutally fought to conquer the Filipinos after the Philippines was liberated from Spain in 1898, during the Philippine-American War from 1899 to 1902. The brave Filipinos lost that imperial war with the US and became a colony for the next 50 years, during which time they were denationalized through their own school system and brainwashed into being "Good Brown Americans", quite similar to the educational programs that were implemented to all the Hawaiian nationals after Hawaii was illegally annexed by the US in 1898. Unlike many Filipinos who were never given an opportunity to firmly understand how the Americans fought to conquer and subjugate them for its own geopolitical interests and not their own, Duterte and many other Filipinos are fully aware of their nation's history and understand that America's friendship still is more for the benefit of the US than for the Philippines.
Finally, similar to Trump who seems to have an endless number of haters, Duterte was still democratically elected by the people of the Philippines for the same reason that he would do anything to make his country great again. The pro-Trump, but anti-Duterte hypocrisy is a tragedy in that the hate attributed to Duterte sounds eerily the same to that of those who despise Trump! (e.g., Trump is a murderer and thug; Trump is corrupt; Trump has no credibility; etc.)
Duterte's response to all his haters should be the same as Trump's response to his haters: F.U.
TRUMP IN 2020!
