Idiot Of The Week: Filipino President Rodrigo Duterte
This is my favorite part of the week. When we get to announce who has won the glorious title of “Idiot Of The Week.” With the Presidential debates,the quickly approaching election, and all of the scandals that have riddled the media lately, I can honestly say that this week's competition was hard. Yet, as promised, the winner of Idiot Of The Week is, Rodrigo Duterte.
I certainly hope you are familiar with the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte by now, because if you aren't then you are missing out on a lot of laughs. The Philippines isn't the biggest or the scariest country on the planet. However, Rodrigo Duterte is quickly changing their world perception after he quickly rose to media fame. He, unfortunately, has stayed in that media stardom ever since.
It's his most recent antics that have won him the title of “Idiot Of The Week.”

When you're comparing yourself to a great world leader, who would you chose? Winston Churchill? Ronald Reagan? John F. Kennedy? Usually, you would choose someone powerful. Someone with dignity, class, and respect, right? Well, Mr. Duterte decided that he would compare himself to Hitler. That's right, Adolf Hitler.
He recently was commenting on the millions of drug addicts that populate the Philippines. During his speech, he said, “Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now there is 3 million, what is it, 3 million drug addicts (in the Philippines), there are. I'd be happy to slaughter them. At least if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have (me)…”
Seems pretty cut and dry to me.
I wish I could say that comment is the only reason he wins the title this week, but unfortunately, it's not. He also decided to try and pick a fight with the United States. That's never a good idea for a small, impoverished country to do.
The United States and the Philippines have been running joint military exercises for awhile now. Yet, the most recent one was started with a word from Duterte, which said, “I serve notice to you now that this will be the last joint military exercise with US.”
He didn't stop there.
He also said that he was going to “break up with America,” a parting goodbye I'm sure the US will not cry over. He also told President Barack Obama to “go to hell.”
I don't want to be the one to say it but it seems like Duterte suffers from a Napolean Complex. So, Duterte, the small dog with the big bark, we offer you the title of “Idiot Of The Week.”

He does not belong in office, just like a goat don’t belong in the dining table.
a stupid president
may i ask how do you conclude your conclusion about Duterte? maybe you need basis how do you decide on declaring “Idiot of the week”
GOLLY!
Who’s IDIOT NOW, eh? And WHY DID I SAY THIS?
Because, WHAT NEWS they FED you or perhaps you must have heard, WERE ALL WRONG! The English equivalent or versions from the Pilipino/Tagalog language WERE ALL FLUFFED and INACCURATE! HARHARHAR!
How gullible, that easily you munched, masticated what they FED you! You all were FOOLED! KAILANGAN KASI MARUNONG kayo ng salita namin PARA MAINTINDIHAN nyo ng husto ang IBIG SABIHIN ni President Duterte! NANIWALA naman kasi kayo agad sa nagbigay sa inyo ng mali na balita? O, sino ngayon ang TANGA?
Meantime, I believe that a TRUE JOURnalist WRITES the real score, otherwise, I will CONSIDER you a —JEERnalist!
At saka, PUWEDE? TIGNAN MO rin MUNA ang SARILI MO NA BAYAN BAGO KA MAMINTAS! OKAY?
I do understand both languages,
Ingles at Tagalog ba kamo..
and comparing his words from his works, it doesnt add up. Disapointed from you cause dont you think these words :**((At saka, PUWEDE? TIGNAN MO rin MUNA ang SARILI MO NA BAYAN BAGO KA MAMINTAS! OKAY?))** are more fitting to Duterte as Duterte told Obama to go to hell unknowing what Obama had been through his life, and had done, yet Duterte blames Obama on Ancient events, events that wont help him on what his doing as a president, like seeking prosperity or on his current campaign= killing his own people(oops),
But still if you really disagree on Duterte having the title.
and we consider your comment as a candidate……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
