What's the deal with Trump and a large segment of the Republicans admitation of Vladimir Putin? He's an authoritarian, a dictator and thug, that plays by his own rules and doesn't give a damn about humanity at large...maybe I just answered my own question. And Trump is on the record as saying he has met Putin and has a good relationship with him and that he has never met him and has no relationship...talk about insanity. Does he owe him some dough?

Even if we assume Trump is in love with Putin.....

What is really worrying was Obama's ferocious support for Mohammad Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. I mean this guy is the most Anti-Women, LGBT, and Minorities person in Egypt, and Obama and the Democrats embraced him.

Let's just say even if the Trump rumors are true, I much prefer the Russian vodka that the Republicans want to bring over, rather than the misogynistic Burqa that the Democrats were bringing in.

Huh? None of our business? Have you followed US history since WW II? We've had a bit of it with Russia since then.

He's the only world leader willing to go head to head with ISIS. Unlike our Noble Peace Prize winner and the European traitors who are letting their countries fall into chaos.

small brains, He has an 82% approval rating among the Russian people as of May 2016. When's the last time a US president achieved those numbers? Bill Clinton? Nope, the highest he ever had was 73% Reagan? Nope, 68%

Well, I guess he's a shoe in to win the presidency of Russia then.

Donald Trump gets a Full Flop for whether he's had a relationship to Vladimir Putin | PolitiFact

They're right wing authoritarians. Putin is in the brotherhood.

Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) is a personality and ideological variable studied in political, social, and personality psychology. Right-wing authoritarians are people who have a high degree of willingness to submit to authorities they perceive as established and legitimate, who adhere to societal conventions and norms, and who are hostile and punitive in their attitudes towards people who don't adhere to them. They value uniformity and are in favour of using group authority, including coercion, to achieve it.
