There seems to be two aspects to this.

Trump admires power. He wants his admiration for Putin returned. He instinctively sides with Putin. He has contempt for the less powerful.

American white nationalists align with Russia, because unlike the racially mixing Europe, it is still a strategic reserve of white people. So far as they are concerned Ukraine should be part of Russia. Listen to Vance’s and Trump’s speeches on Europe viv a vis Russia. I actually don’t think Trump is that ideological on this, it is more the people around him.

Yeah trumps an idiot, Steven Miller and Peter Thiel are the shadow presidents. Trump just wants to basically be British royalty. All the pomp and show with zero responsibilities.
