You should realize if you’re against Putin that just as Putin re-positioned himself from communism to ultra-nationalism to stay viable, Trump re-positioned himself from Clintonism to populism to be able to fool conservatives and run as a Republican for president. I get it if you’re for a vain US blowhards but not for foreign ones. I get it if you’re for cynical self-serving frauds, like Trump. But you’re not able to say that the similarities are not there. They have even grown into a mutual admiration society in recent weeks. Undeniable. See what you want, but it’s true.
Trump has ALWAYS been an American patriot, even if Freepers do not like the heresies of his past.

You don't understand Putin or the "former" Soviet regime if you're seeing similarities.
