Is Trump a tankie?

[Stranger in a strange land]

In all seriousness, I've often thought that Trump is a closet Tankie:

1) Admiration of Russia, Putin, and the Soviet Union
2) The attempted rapprochement with North Korea, despite escalating hostility against Iran, whose nuclear program is both less advanced and less of a threat to the U.S.
3) Justifying the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan (which was a classic OG Tankie issue)
4) Saying that a U.S. Special Forces solider killed on a mission in Niger "knew what he signed up for" (classic ANSWER/Marxist-Leninist Rhetoric circa 2004-2008)
5) Mistrust for the CIA/FBI/State Department

EDIT: in addition, he has also:

6) Praised the Chinese Leadership's response to the Tiananmen Square Protests
7) Had kind words for Saddam Hussein & Bashar Assad
