An analogy for Trump/Putin Relationship

Putin treats Trump the way a Fraternity president treats a pledge that he has no intention of letting join the Frat. At the same time, Trump has no clue and thinks he's in. If Putin told Trump to wear a dress to lunch or cut the lawn with a scissors, he'd gladly do it.

What an embarrassment to the once mighty United States of America...

And this is pledge week. Initiation to a street gang, where killing is one of the requirements.
