Putin has a hold on him because Trump wants to be “manly” like him
Nothing more
He is a bully, and the only thing that inspires a bully is a bigger bully
It’s lost on him that Putin holds him in the same contempt that he himself holds those who he has bullied into submission
Because he’s fucking stupid.
He is probably the most stupid person in politics at a global scale, but he is useful to those who actually tug on the strings of power, and he appeals to enough stupid yanks (and there’s no shortage of stupidity in 'Murica…) with his hate and bluster to be effective
I hope that he gets a taste of the harm he has done throughout his life
There’s an old cartoon that sums up Trump in my mind. Man is being lead to the gallows. Dozens of cops are holding back the crowd that wants to tear him apart. “Oh, all right. I’ll apologize.”
No matter what happens to him, he’ll never admit that he did anything wrong.
Oh yeah

All of it.

He can’t
Because he’s a malignant narcissist
In his mind, he has never done a single thing wrong
Anything that has gone awry is the fault of someone else
He’s a toddler in the body of a sad, fat old rapist
