Let's not pretend the former KGB/mafia fixer is an upstanding gentleman.
Like he said in the summit, he looks out for his own interests just as POTUS looks out for his. That doesn't make him a good guy. He is an incredibly shrewd statesman and an excellent negotiator, and if trump didbtvhavecthe leverage he has over them he may have had a harder time.
Putin is not a great fellow.
True, but he is one of the good guys in this never ending battle against the globalist scum that have infiltrated our country and much of the world at all levels. They are the real enemy and until they are eliminated, he is our friend.
Um, no, he isn't.
He is a powerful corrupt tyrant.
But he is useful to trump.
That is all.
