How, as president of the US, you'd deal with someone like Duterte is like the Kobayashi Maru simulation... there is no winning answer, only various shades of wrong ones.

Obama didn't accomplish much by taking the moral high road and getting called a "son of a whore" for his troubles. Trump's realpolitik is of at least a practical benefit: the US desperately needs the Philippines on side when taking on China's territorial grabs in the South China Sea.
