He's speaking Trump's language:

“‘You can’t be weak in the face of President Putin. It’s not you, it’s not your trademark, it’s not in your interest. How can you then be credible in the face of China if you’re weak in the face of Putin?’”

LOL, called him "weak" twice. This talk will get under his skin. So does this.
