​

​

I am the centre of the universe

​

I command respect in Russia’s smallest spaces

​

I control the parliament

​

I manipulate the media

​

The security services do my bidding

​

The judiciary is in my palm

​

My people know their history

 

​

I have a modernizing army

​

that has shown its mettle near and far

​

I have 7300 nuclear warheads

​

(nobody really knows how many)

​

I am ready to use them

​

to stay in power until I die

​

regardless of the cost to my country

​

its region or beyond

 

​

I am a really smart guy

​

I can defy reality

​

I can defeat its truths

​

by creating my own

​

I can combat the inevitable

​

by ensuring it never comes to pass

​

while I am still of this world

 

​

I am sort of fond of Donald

​

We understand one another

​

He loves power

​

He has no patience for checks and balances

​

He would also sell his grandmother for a good idea

​

He is a sucker for flattery

​

He is the most useful of my idiots
