Part of PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR is the person on the RECEIVING END has to be smart enough to RECOGNIZE IT. [View all]

Talking about Trump, of course.

The three terms I use most often to describe his 3rd wife are "moody, entitled, and passive-aggressive."

And Trump's in a perpetual state of denial, because far too many of his Melania stories begin with her addressing him as "darling," just as the big beefy sobbing men address him as "sir."

SO...while Putin sees Trump as a total fool to be played with, Trump is still "the leader of the free world," and if Putin pushed the wrong way and Trump actually UNDERSTOOD that he was being mocked, WHO KNOWS how the hell he'd respond. And Putin knows that.

I THINK WE KNOW that when Zelenskyy shows up and Trump tells him "JUST GIVE PUTIN WHAT HE WANTS," the "talks" aren't going to go well.

And that was Putin's way of letting Trump know that, in advance, without saying a single word to him...passive aggressive behavior from a beady--eyed rat-faced KBG agent to a reality TV star.
