MOSCOW A dossier on Donald Trump's psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Among its preliminary conclusions is that the new American leader is a risk-taker who can be naïve, according to a senior Kremlin adviser.
Trump "doesn't understand fully who is Mr. Putin he is a tough guy," former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News.
The file is being compiled by retired diplomats and some of Putin's staff, he added.

(60,320 posts)That's what Intell services do for all prominent figures, especially ones that visit the country and try to make deals in or with the country's prominent figures and oligarchs; Trump has been there several times, hosted a beauty pageant there, tried to build real estate there.
This report is really one more indication that Putin and Russia are souring on tRump. They are coming to the conclusion that he won't be able to deliver on his promises to them. Last week, the state controlled media (what, 98% of Russian media?) were told to tone down their coverage of tRump.
I've been saying for some time now on DU that when tRump is no longer a useful idiot for the Russians, they will pull the plug and leak lots of stuff. He will always be an idiot; he is becoming less useful to them by the hour.

Never has Trump been so close to failure, right-wing politician and former lawmaker Nikolai Travkin said after Flynns resignation, making reference to a popular Russian joke about a fictional Soviet World War Two spy. Michael McFaul, U.S. ambassador to Moscow from 2012 to 2014, tweeted on the changing mood in Moscow on Wednesday, asking, in Russian, Well, colleagues, is [Trump] still yours? McFaul referred to the widespread Russian hashtag #TrampNash, meaning Trump is ours and a play on words on the oft-heard phrase Krim Nash, or Crimea is ours.
The disappointment in the fledgling U.S.-Russian rapprochement seems to have been cemented, both in the Kremlin and among ordinary Russians, earlier this week with the Trump administration unexpectedly declaring that Crimea was taken forcefully by Russia and should be returned to Ukraine.

We were too early in our decision, made with absolute sympathy towards President Trumps constructive rhetoric, that he would somehow be pro-Russian, Leonid Slutsky, head of the parliaments foreign affairs committee, said on Wednesday. But he turned out to be pro-American, said Slutsky, whose nationalist LDPR party welcomed Trumps win by publicly quaffing champagne.
