Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[LP]

Putin for all his faults is more about history and his legacy and place in history.
He lives for the future.
He'd want his name and achievements to be remembered long after he's gone.
He dreams of a Russian infuence far beyond its own borders.
One that rivals the glory days of the old Soviet Union.

It's possible that Putin's public message is somewhat different from his personal motives, the immense private wealth he is collecting seems to fly in the face of his publicly stated ambitions for Russia as he is more like a harvester than a builder, like Trump his public message seems to overtly contradict his private actions.
