The big difference between Trump and Putin is is Trump is a totally one-man show. He's destroying the state. Putin operates within the state. He's a creature of the deep state. He's not dismantling the Russian state. That was already dismantled, you know, under Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. For Trump, he doesn't really pay any attention to any of the people around him.

He uses them as emissaries and envoys, but he doesn't do his homework. They can't actually advise him on anything. And that makes Trump very unpredictable. So I think if Putin's looking at his own crystal ball, he also can't say where this is going to go.
