Yep, and maybe they truly believed Trump was an alpha who would dominate Putin.

I had a Trumpian boss who took me along to a meeting he had with his boss and I was stunned.

Now I knew my boss (Little Boss) was full of BS and didn't like him very much, but I was still surprised at how the meeting went. At our office, in a different location, Little Boss would talk and talk about his meetings with Big Boss and how hard he was to work with. In these descriptions of the meetings it sounded like Little Boss did most of the talking.

When we arrived for the meeting, there was one chair right in front of Big Boss's desk, but a couple feet away. I instinctively headed for it and pulled it a few inches closer to the desk. It was a standard office chair, easy to move. I looked over my shoulder at Little Boss, expecting him to grab the other extra chair in the room and bring it over to the desk, but he decided to sit in it where it was, by the wall, several feet away from us.

I wondered if I'd made a gaffe by pulling my chair closer to the desk, but Big Boss was lovely! He chatted with me a little bit before we got going on the meeting, and he had a quiet, competent demeanor. The big surprise was Little Boss, over in the corner. The motormouth was gone, replaced by "Yes, sir" and when he needed to say more he seemed kind of nervous.

I got a big kick out of it, but I still don't know why he took me along that time. He never did again.
