WaPo’s Jenna Johnson: ‘A Lot of Similarities’ at How Putin and Trump Think and Act

‘These are simultaneous campaigns and the question historians are going to wonder, how were they working together?’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MATTHEWS: "There were two campaigns going on simultaneously last year, Trump’s campaign for president, unlikely campaign, unlikely success. There was the Russian campaign led by Vladimir Putin to rebuild something of the old Soviet empire, to try to rebuild their influence to perhaps Finlanize, take Crimea, Finlanize Ukraine, regain that larger empire that they lost at the end of the cold War. These are simultaneous campaigns and the question historians are going to wonder, how were they working together?"
JOHNSON: "Well, there are a lot of similarities between how Putin thinks and acts and how Donald Trump thinks and acts. And there’s also a worldwide movement going on."
