"Trump thinks about Canada in much the same way Vladimir Putin thinks about Ukraine. He identifies with his fellow imperialist. ... the way Trump talks about annexing Canada bears a disconcerting resemblance to the way Putin talks about annexing Ukraine."

As Evan Hurst notes, it's clear from multiple instances that
"Vladimir Putin mocks Trump to his face, he mocks him behind his back, and he mocks him on live TV in front of audiences of Russians."
Though Fox News and Trump epigones want to pretend that Putin didn't keep Trump waiting for their recent phone call — a humiliation tactic — there's video footage of Putin laughing about this to an audience who laugh back.

“Many times when Putin and Trump are interacting, Putin’s actually making fun of him. It’s just completely lost in the translation. I can give lots of episodes of this. Or he’s goading him and urging him onto something because he’s trying to see how he will react."
