OP
I disagree that Pootie "likes" the Con. He is just using him to get what he wants.

You'd think that with his coterie of like-minded stupids, he'd even attract Kim Jong Un.

Considering that I don't think his abuses are going to be on the table any more in terms of Syria policy.

Pootie thinks he's a baffoon and certainly doesn't respect him. All that nonsense about Pootie saying the Con was brilliant....was WRONGLY translated.

I suspect that Duterte couldn't give a shit less about Trump either.
Many countries fear what Trump can do. RW authoritarians can't tell the difference between respect and fear. I know Trump can't.

Sure, he bad-mouths the goofus on an almost daily basis but that's like an energy drink to Lil' Kim.

(101,320 posts)16. Robert Mugabe:
Robert Mugabe, the president of Zimbabwe, celebrated his 93rd birthday on Tuesday by pledging to remain in power despite growing signs of frailty, and endorsing Donald Trumps brand of American nationalism.
When it comes to Donald Trump, on the one hand talking of American nationalism America for Americans on that we agree: Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans, said Mugabe, who took power in the former British colony in 1980.
In a rambling interview with state-owned TV, Mugabe said he hoped Trump, the US president, might review the sanctions imposed on him and members of his inner circle in 2003 over alleged human rights violations and vote rigging. The sanctions were extended by the Obama administration.
Zimbabwean media loyal to the government made no secret of their delight in Trumps shock presidential election victory in November. In this weeks interview, Mugabe said he had not wanted Hillary Clinton to claim the White House.
