(I’m not claiming that these predictions are all original. Many of them, such as this one, are so easy to predict that they might be considered all but inevitable. And they therefore have been predicted by many. But not, obviously, by Trump’s idiot voters.)
Trump’s emotional problems are obvious, and his reactions to praise and criticism are predictable, and Putin will use those tools to great effect in his manipulation of Trump. I predict Putin will be very shrewd and careful in his use of these tools. He’ll probably save the criticism for quite some time, until he’s got most or all of what he can get with praise. Because, as Trump’s behavior to date indicates, once you insult or criticize him, he turns into a small, vindictive, tantrum-throwing child, and it’s hard to get anything out of him. Putin, not being an idiot, knows this. He’ll save the criticism until he wants Trump to do something that only a vindictive, tantrum-throwing child would do.
