"“The two leaders connected very quickly,” Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said immediately afterward. 
I bet they did. They both hate a free press; they both project a laughable, nationalistic, 'strong man' image; they both fib with wild abandon; they both disrespect the rule of law and democratic procedures; they both posture ridiculously for photo-ops; and they both thrive on secrecy.
The 'leader of the free world' is not supposed to hit it off so beautifully with a dictator. But he has because he only believes in the brute force of money and power. Charming, Trump supporters. You laid down with a real winner there. You gave an uneducated cartoon rich guy the nuclear button and a sit-down with Putin. Hope you feel empowered.
