Japanese news: Why Trump left Asia early

I often watch the English language news from Japan, and another from Germany, M-F on one of the PBS channels.

Today the Japanese news reported on Trump leaving before the meeting of Asian heads of state met in the Philippines.
(This was a different meeting than the one held in Vietnam)

Originally Trump was not going to stop in the Philippines for this meeting;
then decided to do so;
then Trump left before the meeting,
when the meeting was delayed two hours.

Japanese news said Trump never intended to attend the meeting,
but used it as a ‘cover’ for Trump’s meeting with Philippine President Duarte,
who is accused of the killing of thousands of Filipinos in a war on drugs.

..... on how to assemble death and assassination squads.

Then tr-dump intends to go full blown Authoritarian Fascist then usher in the 400 year Trump Dynasty.

His family intends to become rich beyond all reason, anyone's ability to fathom, or the totality of comprehension.

The religion of money, blind accumulation of wealth, gluttony, and greed will become the central focus the world over. No limitations, rampant deregulation, dog eat dog, cut throat hyper-capitalism.

It will be grand for the lucky few - a living hell for all the rest.
