    But you gotta hand it to the guy, he took control of the most powerful nation the world has ever known

    Eh, that’s kinda feeding into the propaganda surrounding him. In reality the Russian Federation is just run by the people who scammed the most citizens from their ownership rights after the privatization of the Soviet state. Since the fall of the Soviet state, it’s basically been pretending to be a world power by bullying smaller nations with the military it inherited.

    His real talent is propagandizing and intimidating his way to the top of basically a government run by a mob.

    it’s pretty clear who’s pulling the oompa-lumpas strings)

    Again, I think this is exactly what they want you to think. I just think trump wants what Putin has, supreme power to whatever he wants, and a state where his cronies can do whatever they want so long as they are loyal. American oligarchs have been envious of Russian oligarchs for some time now.
