I suspect that his admiration for Putin is based on nothing other than his having amassed a $40 billion fortune at the expense of his people.
I think you're right. An additional attraction would be that Putin is also a man who makes his friends very wealthy and who is an expert in hiding wealth. Birds of a feather….
I don't think we've got to worry about Trump enriching his friends; he hasn't got any, and besides that, he wants it all for himself.
Nor do I think we've got to worry about him hiding ill-gotten wealth, because he'll be stupid enough to brag about it.
The surprising thing about his adoration of Putin is that he doesn't like smart people, and Putin is clearly waaay smarter than he is.
