1. Yes, we were talking about it yesterday. Very much alike.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. It Wasn't My Fault I Swear to God!

.

[onecaliberal]

13. Yup. Nothing is ever their fault and they are contradictory and always outraged, because reasons.

[JHB]

2. Putin's smarter, but the personality type is the same.

Made training his poodle even easier.

[Sogo]

3. They are so close, they finish each others' sentences....

Probably talk on the phone every day for hours.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. I am sure

Putin and Trump had a back channel form of communicating daily that no one knew about. There were just too many coincidences....

[Kittycatkat]

33. yes yes yes. the first thing trump tried when in office was back door access to fu#$ing putin!

[DENVERPOPS]

35. There wasn't anyone

in the Republican Party who would have called him on it..........

[FakeNoose]

4. It's pretty clear to me who's been doing the talking all along

[Kablooie]

5. Maybe Trump had more influence on Putin than we expected.

[wnylib]

16. They are soul mates who recognized

each other instantly.

[Kittycatkat]

36. just two low life opportunists who happen to both be malignant narcissists.

[C_U_L8R]

6. I used to think Putin was a fearsome character, but...

he's definitely proven to be a fool and a failure. A murderous thug but simply not smart. It's fitting that he is responsible for his own demise.

[TreasonousBastard]

8. Just too bad that he's taken so many with him. And for no reason.

[C_U_L8R]

9. True. True.

I wish one of his inner circle would strap him to a rocket and launch it towards a distant asteroid.

[fierywoman]

14. and tfg took 3/4 million with him via his inept response to Covid. Mofos, both of them.

[DENVERPOPS]

30. He may be failing

mentally. Which makes him even more!!!!!! the ol', I go, you go...........

[Cha]

7. Nope.. they're 2 Toxic Peas in a

Gaseous Deadly Pod.

💙💛

[ificandream]

10. I wouldn't be surprised if they've collaborated somehow.

[L. Coyote]

20. This hints of that, Putin wishing to benefit #FailedCoupGuy in 2024.

Now Putin has far more reason to meddle in US elections than ever before!

31. After Ukraine

Alaska was next.........???????

[lame54]

11. Is there a pic a Putin...

Reading Art of the Deal?

[Pinback]

17. Art of the Schlemiel

is the sequel the two of them should co-write.

[Skittles]

15. CORRECT

yes INDEED

[RobinA]

18. Trump May Be

Exhibit A, but he didn't actually invent narcissism. Despite what he may say.

[dchill]

23. I believe Russians inwented everything!

[L. Coyote]

19. Both are victims of their own fantasies.

32. What about what Trump

did in Syria? He handed Putin Syria on a golden platter

[L. Coyote]

37. War criminal Putim fantasized he could do the same again, and was wrong.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Both men are so incredibly weak, narcissistic, worthless and will go down in history as complete

losers. They both pretend they are strong men but they are putting on such a front to cover up the fact that they are absolute cowards.

Neither one of them has the courage that would equal an atom in Zelensky's fingernail. They are both crapping their diapers right now. I only hope that they are both taken out by the end of the year or sooner.

[SheltieLover]

24. Yup!

[smirkymonkey]

26. Hey SheltieLover!

Good to see you!

It would be really nice to see more bravery from American men, particularly from those who are elected to office. I am so tired of all these cowards.

[SheltieLover]

27. From qpukes?

Pfffft!

It has to be frosting pootin's ass that Joe was in Poland today!

[mrsadm]

39. Good way of putting it!

[LiberalFighter]

22. Suggest to the Russian people the similiarity.

[paleotn]

25. They're working off the same play book.

[CentralMass]

29. They are both malignant narcissists.

[2naSalit]

34. Yeah...

Two wings on the same fucking albatross. They have been colluding for a long time, there's no wondering at any similarities in modus operandi.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

38. TFG and Putin are two peas on a pod

[UCmeNdc]

40. Plus use a propagandized media to push out lies to hide his failures.

[SunSeeker]

41. And he put on a MAGA-style rally in Moscow.

[Bird Lady]

44. did he learn this from Trump

Or did Trump learn it from him. They are the disaster twins. They act in lockstep with each other. It looks like neither has an original idea and there are smarter ones writing their scripts in the background.. Both are just going by their unreasonable scripts mouthing the words.

[SunSeeker]

46. This is the Autocrat basic playbook, going back millennia.

Like you said, neither of them have had an original idea.

[ificandream]

42. I'll betcha Vladie is calling his Donnie a lot these days.

[Wounded Bear]

45. Authoritarian/autocratic minds all think alike...
