In reply to the discussion: Speaker Pelosi says the Russians must have something on Trump because that is the only explanation [View all]EleanorR
(2,391 posts)18. Actually it's simpler than that. Trump admires putin.
He admires dictators and would like to make himself dictator for life as putin is about to do and as Xi has done.
He's praised what the Chinese did to protesters in Tiananmen Square. He locks up children and denies them free medical care. He teargasses peaceful protesters for a propaganda photo. He's taken over VOA to be a propaganda arm of his administration. He's called for journalists to be hurt and killed. He openly admits he wants to keep people from voting. He lies constantly. He fills his pockets with taxpayer money pouring into his hotel in DC and his golf clubs and who knows what other businesses. He fires people who won't get on board with his corruption. All of this is out in the open.
