Duterte is in prison awaiting trial for the same crime Trump is committing [View all]

Rodrigo Duterte, the former President of the Philippines, is in prison at the ICC in the Hague for extra judicial killings of suspected drug dealers and users. The court has charged him for not following due process and crimes against humanity.

Trump is doing the same thing in the Western Hemisphere.

I now spend almost all of my time living in the Philippines as a permanent resident. I asked my adult nephew, while discussing this issue, "Who deserves due process?". His answer was spot on. "Everyone", he replied.
