    Putin is not an aristocrat, he was democratically elected ;-))

    It is kind of difficult hard to phase answers like this with so many words meaning something else. The Republicans are in opposition to The Democrats, but both parties are all for democracy, and consider the US a constitutional republic.

    I thought it was normal protocol to bow to a king, though being a republican myself, I don't believe I would, if I ever met one.
    Putin fiddles his elections and jails and intimidates opposition candidates. He is NOT democratically elected, and is a communist and an enemy of the western powers, and Trump should NOT be an admirer and friend of his.

    And it is interesting that right-wingers in the US don't like bowing to a king. That is seen as a LEFT wing stance in my country.

  • There is no comparison whatsoever.

    Bowing is a gesture of submission. For the U.S. head of state to bow low like a servant is disgusting. The U.S. was founded on telling monarchy where to go. He should interact with a King as an equal.

    Praising someone is not submission. Trump didn't praise Putin as a person. He praised his leadership. This not the same thing and to conflate the two is really very dishonest. One can acknowledge ability even in one's enemies. Though Russia is not our enemy and wanting warmer relations is very very sensible.

    I presume you are referring to Trump saying Putin has been far more of a leader than Obama. This is absolutely true. Obama has taken the U.S. deeper into globalism against U.S. interests. Putin has resisted globalism and acted to protect the sovereignty of Russia. Putin is a Russian patriot. Obama is traitorous little sh*t.

    Have you tried to understand what you read rather than trying to make it fit you agenda? Nah, apparently not.
