Jeremy Bowen had some good analysis of the Trump Zelenskyy debacle and Trump’s mindset about international relations yesterday.
Trump sees himself as a strongman amongst other strongmen - Putin, Xi - and they are going to dictate the world order. All very Ayn Rand.
Obviously Trump is a weakman.

I had Trump do this on Inauguration Day - so I suppose that would be the first hour. At the same time he extends an invite for three all to visit the White House. In my book he also announces an investigation into, as he’ll no doubt put it, “the Biden crime family”

Orban was always going to be the model for how Trump eroded the power of the media - intimidation, right-wing supporters enforcing takeovers, oligarch owners kowtowing (see Bezos & the Post), journalists sued, etc
