Trump is like a lot like Piglet from Winnie the Pooh - a nervous fearful child.
The rest of the DB article is a largely a breathless regurgitation of Russian talking points, a bit unsettling in the matter of fact way they are provided. It puts Putin's ongoing psychological warfare against the US on full display.
