Report: Russians Compiling Trump Psych Report for Putin
Jeffrey Rodack
Kremlin officials are compiling a dossier detailing Donald Trump's psychological makeup for Russian President Vladimir Putin, NBC News reported.
Early conclusions in the dossier note Trump is a risk-taker who at times can be naïve, the network news reported.
Trump "doesn't understand fully who is Mr. Putin — he is a tough guy," former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News.
The file is being put together by retired diplomats and some of Putin's staff in an attempt to help Putin when he meets with Trump. No date has been set for the meeting.
"Very serious preparatory work is going on in the Kremlin, including a paper — seven pages — describing a psychological portrait of Trump, especially based on this last two to three months, and the last weeks," Fedorov, who said he has known Trump since 2000, told NBC.
The dossier is undergoing regular revisions, he noted.
"Trump is not living in a box – he is living in a crowd," Fedorov said. "He should listen to the people around him especially in the areas where he is weak.
"Trump cannot come to a meeting with Putin as a loser – he must sort out his domestic problems first."
Fedorov added Trump's "constant battle with the mass media" was "worrying us."
The U.S. president "is dancing on thin ice," he said. "It's a risky game."
