The Intercept obtained a transcript of the call and is publishing it in full. On the call, Trump enthusiastically endorsed Duterte’s murderous “drug war” and repeatedly addressed the possibility of a U.S. nuclear strike on North Korea. The transcript, which contains numerous typographical errors, is an official document of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs. Well-placed sources at the Palace and the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed its authenticity to reporters for the Philippine news outlet Rappler, which collaborated with The Intercept on this story.

Leaked transcript: Trump praised Duterte for doing an “unbelievable job on the drug problem”


Not sure why some NBC and WAPO verified journalists on twitter are freaking out. Duterte was elected to fix that country's heinous drug problem and he is taking out the trash.

Well, I get the sense he'd rather cozy up to China like the Australians.

This is a win-win for Trump IMO, which is why it's probably false.....

how?

you really think a president advocating extrajudicial killing of citizens and advocating a nuclear war is a good thing?

The coup is real. Trump needs to start imprisoning journalists and having public executions of gays and transgenders. Any minority that steps out of line needs to be hung as an example. WHITE POWER!

Does that sound about right Lefties?

I'm really skeptical of the validity of the leak until we get better sources confirming it.

Do what? They have people over there that know English. Unless, this is a leaked translation of an official document... Kind of like reading a memo over the phone to a reporter.

They over sensationalized the shite of that transcript. I just read it there was nothing wrong with what he said at all.

He even spoke like typical trump haha "we have the best submarines"

It was nothing but good conversation back and forth. Trump asking what he thought about NK and china helping out.
