MeidasTouch(@MeidasTouch):Tim Snyder on Trump's fixation with Putin: If you believe in countries, if you believe in institutions, if you believe in the Constitution, then the United States is a much more powerful country than Russia. But if you just believe that it’s gangster on gangster, well then sure, Putin is a much better gangster than Trump. He’s been at it longer. He’s killed more people. He’s stolen more money. "I’m a much smaller mobster than that mobster, so I’m going to admire that mobster till the day I die."
