Me too, for the same reason I like Trump.
Both men, whatever their flaws, are patriots to their country.
Putin being much more inherently likeable because he doesn't post mean tweets do I really need a sarchasm tag?
OTOH, Trump hasn't posted a mean tweet in quite a while!
I’ll agree that Vlad may not be a TOTAL asshole, and that he acts in his country’s interests.
Fortunately it’s only a hypothetical question, but I think that yes, I would trade him for our... Uh, current President.
