The Philippines' Rodrigo Duterte continued to kiss-up to his kindred spirit, Donald Trump, by saying today that he won't do a thing to help Filipinos deported by the United States under Trump's draconian measures targeting illegal immigrants in the U.S.

The bromance continues with Duterte declaring "I will not lift a finger" to help undocumented Filipinos in the U.S. that wind-up being deported under the policies listed down in Trump's most controversial executive order so far.

"If you are not allowed to stay there, get out. If you get caught there and deported, I will not lift a finger," said the man supposed to defend the human rights of Filipinos worldwide.

Duterte said he's taking this action out of respect for Trump.

Duterte said: "I will understand" Trump's immigration policies, which are being pilloried worldwide as blatant examples of religious racism against the very tenets of American democracy.

"Out of respect for his statement, I can only answer in the manner he has told me. Hindi ako makialam, (I' won't interfere)" said Duterte, who has been widely lampooned in world media as the "Trump of Asia."

The pro-communist Philippine president said he was reciprocating Trump's support for his bloody anti-drug war that has killed over 7,000 Filipinos because Trump professed support for his anti-drug war.

Duterte's fondness for Trump seems to have reached its highest peak yet in Trump's inauguration as U.S. president last Jan. 20. The poorly attended inaugural became the center of a firestorm when Trump claimed it was the best attended inaugural ever, a lie that was disproven by photos of the event.

"It was a very superb ritual and Trump was at his best," said Duterte about Trump's inauguration speech.

Duterte also said he and Trump were alike in that they both loved profanities.

"I would like to congratulate President Trump," said Duterte after Trump won the U.S. presidential election last Nov. 20.

"May you live, Mr. Trump! We both curse at the slightest of reason. We are alike."
