\u201cGiven how the Trump administration failed to pay enough attention to building partnerships with like-minded states in Asia,\u201d said Aries A. Arugay, the chair of the political science department at the University of the Philippines Diliman, \u201ca second Trump presidency will endanger the momentum achieved by the revitalized United States-Philippine relations.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Bilahari Kausikan, a former top diplomat from Singapore, cautioned against equating American values with Asian ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe structure our relationship with the U.S. much more on the basis of common interests rather than common values,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd the people who are very upset over the prospect of Trump, whether in Europe or in the U.S., or people who feel that he doesn\u2019t share their values, we don\u2019t share the values in the first place, not all of them anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

The verdict against Mr. Trump came as India was wrapping up its 44-day election season. Manoj Jha, an opposition politician, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India, who is running for a third term, has employed some of the same tactics as Mr. Trump by \u201cdemonizing a section of his own population.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey thrive on fear,\u201d Mr. Jha said.<\/p>\n

In at least one regard \u2014 the prosecution of former leaders \u2014 the rest of the world is far ahead of the United States. South Korea, where four ex-presidents have been convicted of corruption and abuse of power, has made something of a national sport of imprisoning disgraced leaders. Former French presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac were convicted of corruption.<\/p>\n

Jacob Zuma, the former president of South Africa, has been charged with money laundering, among other crimes. And Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva was sentenced to years in prison for corruption after leading Brazil. His convictions were eventually annulled. He is again president of the country.<\/p>\n
