Realistically what threats do these people pose to the US when compared to Putin and Trump. If you don't think Trump is a threat, you need to read the US constitution carefully. I don't think Trump is sinister per se but probably a bit deranged from his behavior the past three weeks. His mentor Steve Bannon is truly sinister and he is the one with the puppet strings.

Trump is essentially a corrective input to the fast pace globalization of the US economy especially with regards to China and Mexico. I believe his thrust is not to stop or reverse but to slow.
Additionally China is seen as being too unscrupulous with its rampant disregard for intellectual property, its huge industrial espionage and the pressure it puts on American companies operating in China.
At the same time China is using the proceeds from its lopsided interface with the west to rapidly improve and expand its military to try and control the high seas in its area. Just look at its outrageous claims re the South China Sea. I believe that China is preparing for any possible confrontation with the US over Taiwan.
There are enough check and balances to control whatever over reach coming from Trump.
The Putin thing is noise--Just check Harry Reid and Sanders.
Russia is economically weak and is in a reactive mode to perceived threats on its borders. It is not setting up missiles near the US.
