As a committed cynic, my instinct tells me the reason Putin seems to have a liking for Trump is not because of the latters's sunny disposition and blokey sense of humour. My gut tells me that with Trump at the helm, Putin can see an America grossly divided, racked by internal schisms and unable to function effectively at home or abroad. In the chaos of a disordered America, Putin can see delicious opportunities that he can exploit.
