Donald Trump is a lazy, not too bright, and weak coward. These characteristics in him draw him to self-interested, ruthless men without a conscience-- like Roy Cohn and Vladimir Putin -- like a moth to a flame. He sees in them the strength that he lacks and he sees them as a means of protecting him from exposure as the total loser that he really is. The late Kohn was his idol and his protector, and he sees the same in Putin -- and that is why he likely sold out to Putin. Trump is simply a toady to the ultimate bullies.
I wish he'd crawl in a cave and never come out. Sick of seeing him on TV every time I turn it on. One of the many reasons why I no longer watch cable TV.
I agree, he is an insecure rich toddler and total waste of space.
