Russia Compiles Psychological Dossier on Trump for Putin

[SummerSnow]

by BILL NEELY


MOSCOW — A dossier on Donald Trump's psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Among its preliminary conclusions is that the new American leader is a risk-taker who can be naïve, according to a senior Kremlin adviser.

Trump "doesn't understand fully who is Mr. Putin — he is a tough guy," former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News.

The file is being compiled by retired diplomats and some of Putin's staff, he added.

The attempt to get inside the U.S. president's mind is aimed at helping Putin plan for his first meeting with America's new leader, the date for which is yet to be decided.

"Very serious preparatory work is going on in the Kremlin, including a paper — seven pages — describing a psychological portrait of Trump, especially based on this last two to three months, and the last weeks," added Fedorov, who said he has known Trump since 2000.

1. Updated or just yet another? It can't be the first.

As for that extremely...diplomatic wording, is this being put together for leaking for some purpose? For sure, that's not the language of mental health specialists.

3. So, is this a sign of morning after regret?

A common problem with criminal conspiracies is that the end game is for only one of the conspirators to end up with everything.
The other problem is that everything that does not further the conspiracy is considered disposable.
Putin is currently the most powerful one in this situation who considers himself in charge of the mechanisms of power and is not the type to share that power.
So anyone who might threaten his assumed status quo must be eliminated.

Including anyone who might be considered a partner/fellow traveler or who might have been considered an invaluable tool just days prior...
