He's definitely shown that pattern with leaders like Putin and Kim Jong Un.

It's a super consistent aspect of his personality. He's not being blackmailed, he genuinely admires these people. They (and the super-rich) are the only people that Trump respects.

u/Mightbeagoat4 13h ago
He could both admire these people and also be blackmailed.

u/Cessnaporsche01 13h ago
I don't think there's literally any blackmail that could matter. There could be video and signed testimonials of him raping Christian Babies® to death with Jeff Epstein and Jimmy Saville while doing Nazi salutes and wearing "666" on their foreheads, and his supporters would start defending and emulating those things.

They're what he's wanted forever, what he never had before: The power to keep people from pointing out his many, many flaws. He's a fucking child, can talk mad shit but the minute people push back he whines and cries like a little kid.
He's always been a disgrace, and the man was a fucking laughing stock even back in the 80s for anyone that lived in NYC or the northeast. Gordon Gecko in Wall Street was based on him, Biff Tannen in Back to the Future II was based on him. Since he started going out on his own he's always had a massive chip on his shoulder because he's a fucking moron and never got the "respect" he felt he deserved. But he didn't deserve any respect. Dude couldn't even get born a nepo baby and be successful without screwing over his employees and contractors left and right. Imagine how much of a fucking loser you have to be to start out on 3rd base and still somehow fail to ever make it across home plate? Not a single thing he's touched has been better than before he touched it. Not a single fucking thing, long before he entered the oval office and degraded the Presidency with his mere presence.
That's why he wants to be Putin or Kim Jong Un. Because those are the people that are also little bitches that can't take criticism and just make the people talking shit disappear. That's what Trump wants. He wants to make all the people pointing out that he's a disgusting, shit smelling, unsophisticated, low-class, low-information idiot pederast disappear.
This is decades of "Why won't they be my friend?" on full display, and because he's an arrogant douchebag, he thinks if he just makes all the people that see him for what he is disappear, it will all go away. Because he's a child.
Fuck him and everyone that supports him.

There are writings going back to the early 70s about Trump and how badly he wanted to be loved by the established money there. They always found him boorish and never accepted him. Instead of him changing who he is he went scorched earth.
This also explains Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos and many other billionaires that so badly wish to be loved but no one actually does.

u/Neatojuancheeto 10h ago
Musk was loved. Then he started talking on social media and people realized he wasn't the cool EV and space guy, he was an absolute idiot who got lucky with the companies he invested in.
Also tesla is an absolute house of cards. The market is really just vibes at this point

u/Wonderful-Variation 14h ago

By the 1970s, with the loss of Soviet influence in Egypt, the Soviet Union sought better relations with Palestinian militants, and Soviet arms and training were provided to militant groups.
The KGB was responsible for arming and training most of the militant groups. The KGB decided which groups should receive the money and weapons. By 1972, the Soviets had declared the Palestinian movement the vanguard of the Arab liberation movement.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the newly created Russian Federation continued supporting the militants, albeit in a somewhat limited fashion.
Russian trained Palestinian militants were involved in the First and Second Chechen Wars under the Arab Mujahideen in Chechnya
Russia was critical of the Gaza War (2008–09) and condemned Israeli actions.
After a meeting between the foreign minister of Russia Sergei Lavrov and the Palestinian foreign minister Riyad al-Maliki (Fatah) on December 9, 2009, both Russia and Palestine have said that their relations are close and friendly and that Russia will continue to assist Palestine in all fields.
On November 27, 2011, Russian president Medvedev sent Palestinian president Abbas an official letter of support for Palestinian statehood.
A senior Palestinian diplomat told Arab News that Russia "is a great country, friendly and supportive of the rights of the Palestinian people, and seriously supportive of its cause

Trump doesn't love high gas prices, he loves prices that go up and down rapidly based on his posts. He posts that oil is falling for some reason, then he buys some on the market, then they bomb Iran or something, price goes up and he sells again. It is market manipulation 101, except there is no one left to bring him to justice for it and everyone around him is participating in it.

u/Jason-Smith168498 14h ago
Yes, they were first designed there. The russian viariant is called the Geran-2.
And like Shahed drones, the Garan can be exported and used elsewhere.
April 2026: The Associated Press reported that U.S. and European officials had identified transfers of upgraded Russian drones to Iran, potentially including improved navigation, anti-jamming technology and propulsion systems. Russia denied involvement.
March 2026: Analysts identified drone wreckage in the UAE that appeared to be a Russian-manufactured Geran-2. Markings suggested production at the Kupol plant in Izhevsk, Russia, and the drone reportedly contained a Russian Kometa-M navigation system

Oh it's even better. The issue is not a US shortage, we export diesel. The problem is the global market doesn't have enough so they are bidding up the price so to speak. The supply is inelastic, it takes years to build a new refinery and what can run is running flat out, EVERYWHERE. Buying diesel from Russia does nothing to change the amount of diesel, it just moves it from the Russian store to the US store.
It's effectively like buying concert tickets from stubhub in order to increase the number of tickets for a show and bring down prices...
