Now I see these 2 dangerously moronic sociopaths couldn't have negotiated a game twiddle sticks together. I do shudder to think where the free world would be today had Trump a second term. What were Putin and Trump cooking up to serve the world?

(17,274 posts)Putin always appeared to be a ruthless, clever/smart criminal until recently. So was it always a case of the Emperor had no clothes or is he experiencing a debilitating illness/disorder? I think the latter.

(39,367 posts)Youre right, there is no chess involved. Putin is a role model; he doesnt have to manipulate Trump at all. Hes a street kid, actually tough, but, most of all, a world-class thief.
Russian kleptocracy is what gets Trumps shriveled dark heart pounding more than anything. Power as the gateway to unlimited self-dealing. The real steal, a place where Trump could be the center of attention, both feared and respected, trade favors for billions and kill or destroy anyone who got in his way. Putin has that world, he doesnt. Its not at all an exaggeration to say Trump hates whats left of democratic America for not being Putins Russia.
