Trump admires Putin because he is rich and runs Russia like it's his personal company

according to Michael Cohen's new book

Donald Trump idolizes Vladimir Putin as a leader because he runs Russia like his own company, and because of his enormous riches, according to extracts of a new memoir.

Michael Cohen, the president's former lawyer and self-described "fixer," made the claim in his book "Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump," set to be published Tuesday and seen in advance by The Washington Post and CNN.

In a damning statement, he described the president as "a cheat, a liar, a fraud, a bully, a racist, a predator, a con man," and as someone with an interest in profiting from his high office, CNN reported. Cohen has publicly stated he is against Trump's reelection in November.

Cohen himself has been convicted of lying to Congress and violating campaign laws on Trump's behalf, a fact that he acknowledges in his book, according to The Post. He is currently serving a three-year federal sentence for crimes committed while working for Trump.

1. Being a malignant narcissist with god delusions what was the next step for Trump...

If not to run for President and then become America's strongman.

More attention, more money, more power....of course that freak wants to be just like Putin.

2. Predictable long before 2015.

All he's ever done is "run" his own "company" to enrich himself. No stockholders, no corporate board, no one to answer to but himself and the law. Plenty of inherited money to pay (lawless) lawyers to take on the law in case he ever gets caught.

It is what it is (and always has been).
