"Do they love me? (drools, slurps) The Donald is their favorite President! Right?"
"Of course, sir. They admire your incredible leadership and your golfing skills. They're all saluting and pledging their allegiance to you. Just don't look out the window!"

Meaning their pretty little minds won’t be bothered by what people on the outside world actually think.

Maybe a piece or two of the engine on Putin’s plane could go missing while it sits on the tarmac, thanks to some intrepid airman…

Just like the last time they were supposed to meet. Partly to embarrass Trump, and also for the risks you just suggested. Trump may love him, but I highly doubt that the overwhelming majority of the people working at that AFB do.

They have to (or should) see Putin across the Bering Strait as a threat.
