Sounds Like Trump, Too

When William Burns visited the Kremlin in the summer of 2005 to present his credentials as the U.S.’s new ambassador to Russia, he was met by an aggressive Vladimir Putin who was eager to convey a message: The U.S. had taken advantage of Russian weakness, and now Russia was going to push back.

“Putin is a combustible combination of grievance and ambition and insecurity, all wrapped up together,” Burns said of the Russian leader.
"A combustible combination of grievance and ambition and insecurity, all wrapped up together" fits Trump like a bespoke suit.

No wonder they get along. Trump and Putin are, at the core, basically the same person.
