Much of the time, the former guy couldn't be bothered with carrying out actual presidential duties. His failure to attend the centennial of the end of World War I because it was raining comes to mind. But during that one shining moment when federal death penalties were carried out, he attended to his part in the process with a gusto not often seen.

Trump is a wannabe strongman and a wannabe gangster, although he lacks the character qualities to be effective as either.

The only thing Trump cares about is money, and his greatest fear is losing it. Putin likely threatened financial ruin if Trump didn't knuckle under.
