why is it that people think putin *must* have something on trump to make trump spout the stupid shit he does? why can't it be that trump says and does these things simply because he's an ignorant, reactionary dumbfuck who admires authoritarian nationalists?

[rubs ears] Because there's a pro-Putin asymmetry and timing in the stupid shit he says? For starters? I mean, he doesn't do the same for, say, Abe, even tho he loves him too. Does he?

abe is an authoritarian nationalist, constantly posing on the world stage as all-around tough guy?

He is a nationalist who has broken from past tradition in dangerous ways that Trump hangs out with a lot. How about Erdogan, then? Or Xi? Or even Bibi? I just don't see him doing this with anyone else. But I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Alright: better comparison: MBS. Also loves him. Has also done some whack shit with him, including signaling that that crazy ass orb. I also think there's more to that.

I think he WOULD do the same w/Bibi, but Bibi's too smart for all that.
