It's contempt. Putin is happy to use traitors, he still holds them in contempt.

Exactly.

Trump thinks that Putin is his friend, that they're cut from the same cloth, that Putin sees him as an equal, as a business partner.

But Putin, whatever else may be said of him, is a patriot.  He must be absolutely disgusted by Trump.  And when Trump has exhausted his usefulness, which ought to be any day now, I wouldn't be surprised if Putin helps bury Trump.  Maybe he sacrifices some "Russian internet trolls" in the process.  I think there's nothing in the world Putin would like more than to double-cross the fat, arrogant, stupid con man who so foolishly thought they were teammates.  Hell, he might even do it right out in the open.

I believe that was in our intelligence agencies' personality profile of him. Considering he was in the business of spying, he absolutely detested double agents.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal was a strongly worded, combative and highly partisan defense of the Trump administration’s relations with Saudi Arabia. Echoing the president’s description of the oil-rich kingdom as a “spectacular ally,” Pompeo argued that downgrading the U.S.-Saudi alliance in response to the Saudi government’s murder of Jamal Khashoggi and its inhumane military campaign in Yemen would seriously jeopardize U.S. national security and vital American interests in the Middle East.

Having spent a combined 50-plus years working on Middle East policy at the Department of State, we understand the importance to America of Saudi stability and the need to maintain a relationship with Riyadh. But we don’t accept Pompeo’s over the top, Alice in Wonderland-like perceptions of the value of Saudi Arabia. Indeed, much of the op-ed describes the behavior of a country we can barely recognize.

Saudi Arabia is not a U.S. ally no matter how many times the president, Pompeo, and other senior administration officials affirm it. Unlike traditional allies, such as Britain, Canada, France or Australia, the Saudis don’t share fundamental American values: respect for human rights, freedom of speech and freedom of the press. At best, they are an occasional and often reluctant, half-hearted security partner and their interests, particularly under the influence of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (commonly known as MBS), only episodically align with ours.

Nor, as Trump and Pompeo have argued, can Saudi Arabia serve as the linchpin of America’s Middle East regional strategy. Indeed, the Trump administration has wildly exaggerated Saudi Arabia’s importance, inflated its capacity to play such a role and minimized the risks of our current relationship with MBS. The fact is, Saudi Arabia simply isn’t as important to the U.S. as it once was. The relationship needs to be reset and rebalanced to better protect American interests.

This single tweet caused such a wave of anxiety with the White House that they deployed Eric the Void Trump to respond to it.  But back to the root of the matter.  Out of all the negative tweets toward Trump, the deepest cut is when someone simply cites ... a law.
