#Trump seems to genuinely feel that he & #Putin forged a personal bond through the shared *trauma* of being *persecuted* by the Democratic Party. Trump is known for his cold-eyed, transactional approach, & yet here he was, displaying affection & loyalty. (At another point, Trump complained that #Zelensky has “tremendous hatred” toward Putin & insisted, “It’s very tough for me to make a deal w/that kind of hate.”)
