Trump’s Dutertismo

U.S. PRESIDENT DONALD Trump’s war machine in tandem with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu may be branded as a copy-cat Dutertismo’s “War on Drugs, Tokhang Operation,” that is, in the eyes of Filipinos. But the Trump/Netanyahu “War on Iran” is in a more murderous scale, as the coverage is the whole world, disrupting the economies and political stability of many sovereign states, and world peace. 

With the U.N.-unsanctioned Trump-Netanyahu war adventure, in fact known as “Genocide” against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, it has extended its illegal war assault at the sovereign state of Iran. 

Forced to defend itself as an independent country, Iran had no choice but to retaliate against the U.S.-Israel war machine by watching how it can safeguard the Hormuz Strait, the main passageway of oil distribution that fuels the economies of many countries. 

Moreover, it has been firing missile bombs on the U.S.Military bases housed by Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Dubai, UAE, and other Mideast countries. 

Trump and Netanyahu, until today, have undoubtedly, immeasurable blood in their hands, more accurately called “war crimes” – millions of lives lost, millions hospitalized or suffering lack of medical care, millions rendered homeless, millions unfed and starving, millions of homes, buildings and infrastructures destroyed, and humanitarian aids heartlessly prevented.   

GOD AND THE POPE

While Dutertismo attacks the Divine Creator Himself with Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s blasphemous public proclamation that “God is stupid,” Donald Trump’s public statement, “Pope Leo’s weak on crime and foreign policy” is “small time, no match” (as Filipinos would call it) because it was leveled only at the Almighty God’s human representative on planet earth, Pope Leo IV.

The original Dutertismo may pale in comparison with the global reach of Trump’s verbal attack, his adapted “Dutertismo” on the Pope, and violative-of-the-U.S.-Constitution attack on the sovereignty of Iran. 

For Filipinos, Dutertismo, since June 2016, has been bringing chaos and mayhem to more than 60,000,000 poor marginalized and vulnerable Filipinos! 

Dutertismo has created a society where millions are unemployed, dependent on government band-aid “ayuda” (which has served to perpetuate political patronage, a tool for the 80 percent of dynastic senators, congressmen and LGU officials, in retaining their self-serving anti-people political and economic powers nationwide). 

Thus, without honest-to-goodness service by government officials, until today, led by the dynastic families of President Bongbong Marcos and VP Sara Duterte, massive poverty, human rights violations, and pervasive injustices have been the lot of Filipinos since 2016. 

“God is stupid,” apparently, is the key slogan of the Marcos-Duterte regimes since 2016 and sadly pursued until today, where the Philippines is now also suffering the problematic vortex of energy crisis and world chaotic developments, initiated by the Trump-Netanyahu brutal Dutertismo style of waging what may be termed as “global EJKs.

NO OTHER OPTIONS?

The energy crisis the Philippines is facing right now is due to a large extent to Trump’s version of Dutertismo. 

However, the incompetence and limitations of the current Marcos-Duterte in its style, or strategy, if any, of governance is highlighted. 

Aware (or have they been ignorant?) of the country’s over-dependence on the importation of oil for decades to keep the economy running, President Bongbong Marcos and VP Sara Duterte should have explored other options, especially the possibility of alternative sources of energy that may be available from the natural resources found in an archipelagic Philippines. 

The Filipino people are worried: “This Dutertismo-decision-making is built-in in this administration?!”
