President Donny Wants to "Be Like Vlad."

Vladimir Putin has a reputation for making his political enemies in Russia disappear into eternity. He hasn't faced trial for the death of any of them, of course, but it's commonly believed that he has had numerous enemies killed in one way or another.

Donald Trump is envious of Putin. He wants to be able to do similar things, but doesn't know how. So, he vaguely threatens "Civil War," if Congress tries to impeach him. He is grasping at straws and hates that he can't be as vindictive and deadly as his hero, Vlad.

3. The difference is that Putin has associates who would do such things.

Trump has no friends at all. He has people who toady to him, but they're not his friends or allies, really.

Trump betrays one and all equally.

5. Oh, yes, please. But, you'll need a large draft horse for Trump.

A Clydesdale, at least. And then, you'll need a forklift to get Trump up and on the horse.

4. You are closer to truth than you realize. Putin has everything Trump wants:

Putin is still in shape despite his age. He still practices martial arts and is a manly outdoors-guy.

Putin controls the russian media. Whenever he holds a publicity-stunt, the russian media dutifully reports it as a domestic achievement.

Putin is surrounded by sycophants and lackeys.

Putin is fleecing Russia via his oligarch-friends and nobody dares to investigate him.

Putin lives in a garish, obscene, dictator-chic palace instead of a boring White House.

6. Oh, I realize. Trump admires tyrants. He wishes he could be one.

He can't, though, because we resist tyranny here.

9. Well, Trump is trying to be somewhat realistic.

I'm sure he's never heard of that Vlad, though. History probably wasn't his strong suit in school.
