Trump starts the ball rolling.....

Putin loved and cherished the predictable Joseph Biden.
Trump is the only person in the world who can challenge Putin intellectually and psychologically.
Will be fascinating to watch the next meeting between the 21st Century's two most powerful people.

Trump can read personalities and know how to engage them.

That's a gift when it comes with negotiations.

I thought Jared was working on this.

It will be interesting to see whether Jared is brought back to work his magic once again.

We already know what happens....

Remember Helsinki?

Trump emerged, putin smirked, trump announced he accepted the "word" of the leader of our nation's enemy over the assessments and analyses of American intel and security agencies.

A very special moment....

American intel is clueless in most matters, domestic and abroad, and corrupt as it gets.
Trump is always playing games, It wouldn't surprise me if this is true-

“All this stuff about how he says Putin’s smart – that’s why he’s a genius!” Mr Giuliani said of Mr Trump, who recently admitted that he was surprised that Mr Putin’s military buildup on the Ukrainian border had been a prelude to striking some unspecified deal.

“Course he says he’s smart. ‘Hey, Vladimir, you’re really really smart,’ and then he’ll go on and say – He authorised me to say this, or I wouldn’t say it, as his lawyer.

“So, he has a meeting with Putin and he tells him, they’re talking about Ukraine and he says, “Vladimir, you shouldn’t, like, attack Ukraine, cause then I’m gonna – well I never liked those big – what are those things you’ve got in Moscow? Those big bubbles, those big gold bubbles. I never liked those things. So, I’m going to have to blow ‘em up.

“So, Putin says, ‘They’re churches.’ And he said, ‘Oh, Vladimir. Don’t tell me that about churches. Oh, come on. Churches? You can fool Bush, you can’t fool me. Churches, you care about churches?’ That’s what he’s like.”

And this is why Putin was never going to invade the Ukraine while Trump was POTUS.
Putin can predict the career politicians like Biden, but has no idea what Trump will do next!
At the same time, I think Putin admires Trump for being so complicated.

Putin characterized the former US president Donald Trump as “an extraordinary individual, talented individual”, but impulsive, and said Biden, as a career politician, was “radically different” from the “colorful” Trump.
“It is my great hope that, yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements on behalf of the sitting US president,” he said, according to a translation by NBC News.

He can read personalities can he? How many senior people did he go through the last time?

He can read personalities can he? How many senior people did he go through the last time?

Different people for different projects.
For example Trump used Bolton as a bluff to Iran, even if Bolton wasn't aware of it.
Didn't need Bolton after the violent message was sent, as economic sanctions ensued.
