Trump loves Putin simply because he's jealous of him. He wants to be able to "disappear" opponents. HE wants to have people shoved out of windows. HE wants to kill his enemies just like Putin

Trump's fervent denial of any Russian tapes is about the same as his reaction to the Epstein files. The more he adamantly denies something, the more likely that it is true.

That said, yes Trump does want to be like Putin, but I think Putin has a hold on Trump along with some other republicans that goes beyond jealousy. This sort of kompromat is a classic KGB tactic and they have perfected it. Trump is gullible enough to fall into the trap.

AI is getting better and better all the time and it could get very hard to tell what is real and what is fake. Very unnerving.
