Smoking guns? Not that I know of. It's just my personal viewpoint, though I do think there's circumstantial evidence to support this.Ported over, because (duh) it's easy to do and I should just have quoted them here instead.
Anyway, any smoking guns on his preferences here?
Trump has called Putin's actions in Ukraine smart. He generally doesn't hand out praise to people he wants to fail.
I doubt Trump would come out and state clearly that he wants Putin to be successful in winning a war of conquest, and killing thousands of Ukrainian civilians in the process.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if in Trump's mind, a Putin victory would vindicate his self-perceived instinct as always picking winners.
