From Burma to the Philippines, Trump largely ignores human rights on Asia trip

[Guardbuddy]

[quote] MANILA - As his first official trip to Asia neared its end Monday, President Trump had yet to utter a word about the military campaign against the Rohingya Muslim ethnic minority in Burma, which [B]the United Nations' top human rights official has called "a textbook example of ethnic cleansing." [/B][/quote]

[quote] And here in Manila, human rights issues were barely discussed - if at all - in Trump's first meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who has garnered worldwide condemnation for waging a bloody, extrajudicial drug war that has killed thousands, shot either in police raids or targeted by hit men, often after being named by police. [B]Some of the victims may have been children[/B]. [/quote]

I'm guessing its not a surprise for anyone that Trump hasn't denounced human rights abuses. However, I mostly wanted to post this article because it seems that the ethnic cleansing in Burma has largely been silent on most media. The article is by the Washington Post which does have an article limit, but I think you can get around this by opening your browser in incognito if you hit the limit.

Should we be surprised that Trump doesn't care about human rights? Cause I'm not surprised in the least bit. He's a worthless asshole with no regard for anything other than himself and his wallet.

Trump only cares about himself. He was a narcisstic TV star before.

Does he even know people have them? I'd be surprised

The president of the United States ignoring rampant human rights violations should always be news.

That's not what I'm saying in the least. What I'm saying is it should be no surprise that Trump, specifically Trump, has no regard for human rights violations since he's such a piece of shit.
