(28,609 posts)I did a two-second Google search and found this article, which he wrote himself, so I don't think the source is up for dispute. He seems nice and dangerous; no?

(15,044 posts)At least until Trump thinks Putin isn't his buddy anymore.
Trump is getting something from Russia/Putin beyond election help or he'd drop them by now, just like he's done with all previous "friends" and "allies" who can't/won't help him anymore (according to biographers). USA banks pretty much blacklisted Trump, so I assume the temporary friendship with Putin is money-related.
Trump is such an extreme narcissist that he can't even hide it. He openly says that other people will be his enemy if they oppose him, putting that attitude above everything else such as policy.

(15,044 posts)In The Art of the Deal, Trump describes Roy Cohn, his personal lawyer, in the warmest terms, calling him the sort of guy whod be there at your hospital bed . . . literally standing by you to the death. Cohn, who in the fifties assisted Senator Joseph McCarthy in his vicious crusade against Communism, was closeted. He felt abandoned by Trump when he became fatally ill from AIDS, and said, Donald pisses ice water. Schwartz says of Trump, Hed like people when they were helpful, and turn on them when they werent. It wasnt personal. Hes a transactional manit was all about what you could do for him.
USA/Russia relations could turn ugly very fast if Putin stops helping Trump.
