The Philippines' deranged president, Rodrigo Duterte, is now basking in the odium of worldwide revulsion for gleefully comparing himself to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, saying he wanted to murder three million Filipino drug dependents much the same way Hitler murdered 11 million Jews and other persons during World War II.

The daft Duterte, who was diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having "antisocial narcissistic personality disorder," told followers in Davao City, his home town, he would be "happy to slaughter" three million addicts.

He complained he was once "portrayed or pictured to be a cousin of Hitler," without explaining where he read this or who he hear this from. He then went into another of his rants.

"Hitler massacred three million Jews. Now there is three million drug addicts (in the Philippines), there are. I'd be happy to slaughter them. At least if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have (me) ...," he said as his train of thought trailed off into nothing, looking confused and like he was on something.

In an effort to justify his call for mass murder, Duterte said while Hitler's victims were innocent people, his targets are "all criminals."

"You know, my victims, I would like to be all criminals to finish the (drug) problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition," he said.

Historians say six million Jews were murdered by Hitler and his Nazis before and during World War II.

It's now clear the world is dealing with a murderous psychopath in the mold of Hitler and Idi Amin who feels emboldened to kill because of he was never brought to trial for abetting the murders -- and in some cases even doing the killing himself -- of some 1,700 persons during his term as mayor of Davao City starting in 1998.

The insane Duterte now uses his escape from prosecution to dare his critics to call him a murderer.

Amnesty International said Duterte "has sunk to new depths" and urged governments around the world to condemn his "extremely dangerous outburst."

World Jewish Congress President Ronald Lauder described Duterte's remarks as "revolting" and demanded he retract them and apologize, something  Duterte has never done since he began insulting with gusto world leaders that urged him to respect human rights.

"Drug abuse is a serious issue. But what President Duterte said is not only profoundly inhumane, but it demonstrates an appalling disrespect for human life that is truly heartbreaking for the democratically elected leader of a great country," said Lauder.

The U.S. State Department called Duterte's outburst "troubling."

"Words matter, especially when they are from leaders of sovereign nations, especially sovereign nations with whom we have long and valued relations with," said spokesman Mark Toner.

He repeated U.S. calls for Philippine authorities to investigate credible reports of extra-judicial killings.

Germany condemned Duterte's comments as unacceptable. It then summoned the Philippine ambassador to the Foreign Ministry over the matter.

"It is impossible to make any comparison to the unique atrocities of the Shoah and Holocaust," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer in Berlin.

U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, top-ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was more blunt.

"It is reprehensible and frankly disgusting that a democratically-elected leader is talking about the mass murder of his own people, with Hitler's Holocaust as his inspiration no less," he said.

Cardin and Sen. Patrick Leahy have criticized the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. They expect the number of dead to reach 6,000 people by the end of 2016 if the trend continues.

Cardin and Leahy described the extrajudicial killings as a "systematic, widespread, brutal, and beyond the bounds for a constitutional democracy."

Philippine Rep. Teodoro Baguilat wondered if the president was suggesting that "it's open season now for all addicts. No more rehabilitation, just kill them systematically like what the Nazis did with the Jews."

As usual, Duterte's sycophants once again fell over themselves in another laughable effort to explain to the world Duterte didn't mean what he actually said. This time the presidential spokesman said Duterte "meant no harm."
