Putin is punching well above his weight. Why is Trump so enthralled with this man?The answer is simplicity itself - because Putin really is “punching well above his weight.” I expect Trump admires Putin’s ability to play a weak hand skillfully, and to get wealthy in the process.
Trump appears to admire people who, like himself, have succeeded in tough, ugly competitions for leadership, requiring a combination of toughness, guile, luck and blarney. He admires successful “poker players.” How surprising is that?
