 With the talk about Taken and Dirty Harry, he makes me think that he is your Reagan with a heaping serving of Trump, which is truly horrifying to consider.

The Maute Group isn't literally ISIS, if we value such distinctions. They're radicalized, and armed, and dangerous, but they've mostly just taken to flying the ISIS flag but probably aren't directly coordinating with or receiving support from them.

As far as can be said then is that they seem to be ISIS inspired and probably want to be allied, but no official/direct connection?

 One man's Trump is another man's Duterte. :( What a time to be alive.

I thought this was the Philippines thread, not the Trump thread.

Duterte is the Trump Trump wishes he could be.
