    He just called a spade a spade. The drug trade in any country is deeply connected with politicians. Without their protection a drug trade wouldn't be widespread. The USA included. As a matter of fact, U.S intelligence services are the biggest drug dealers in the world. Perhaps the president of the Philippines stepped on their toes. I say well done Mr Duterte for trying to clean up the country's administration from corrupted politicians.

    It should also be noted that the senator who tried to castigate the president was kicked off his committee.
