    I think that you got to the essence of Trump in this segment. He’s a wanna-be oligarch and he doesn’t believe wealthy people should be governed by the same laws that the rest of us are. He admires Putin because he’s rich, powerful, and answers to no one. The real mystery is, why so many who aren’t wealthy and who claim to believe in our Constitution and rule of law, support him.
