The difference between Putin and Trump, the first a sociopath, the second

Last edited Wed Aug 3, 2016, 04:17 AM - Edit history (2)

a salesman: when some former American football player showed Putin his superbowl ring, Putin tried it on and then kept it without asking. When Trump is offered the purple heart of a us serviceman to keep, he keeps it. It was thoughtless to accept it. Trump is narcissistic but not nearly as mind bogglingly weird as Putin. Trump is laughable. When you laugh at Putin's behaviour it is because it scares you in places you did not know could be scared.

Apparently when Putin tried on the ring he said "I could kill somebody with this ring" then pocketed it and was surrounded by KGB as he left. ............ I guess they are alike because Trump said I could shot somebody and not lose any supporters. The difference is Putin said it to scare the beJebus out of the owner of the ring and freeze him, while putin left. Trump was just metaphorically bragging. The difference is Putin does kill people.
