Jake Sullivan of the US sees through the image that Russia's President is projecting---the Nineteenth Century dream of Russia's Czar--on CNN's Fareed Zakaria's GPS today; does President Trump see it's only a dream?

 President Trump may be caught up with the grandeur his own administration has provided to the festivities of entertaining Russia's President Putin in  Alaska.[

Doesn't he see that Russia's economy is dependent on the oil sales to India and China; and Russia is going to languish as the world advances toward dependency on electricity for energy?

To my mind, President Trump is enamored with his own image of Putin in his veritable adoration of royalty in an Eighteenth Century lure!  Wake up, President Trump, to the reality that he's dependent on you to make his dream, captured in the pomp and ceremony of the meeting, just as real.  

My opinion.
