Can psychiatrists to explain Trump's affection for tyrants?

Question

“I don’t understand Donald’s bizarre fascination with dictators and strongmen who have no love for America. He praised China for the Tiananmen Square massacre. He said it showed strength. He said you’ve got to give Kim Jong Un credit for taking over North Korea. …  And he said if he were grading Vladimir Putin as a leader, he would give him an ‘A,’” said Clinton.

“Now, I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for tyrants,” she continued. “I just wonder how anyone could be so wrong about who America’s real friends are.”

And yet Putin is the one protecting Snowden, the whistle blower about the NSA's unconstitutional spying under the Obama regime.  Which sounds more tyrannical, spying on law abiding citizens without warrants or protecting a whistle blower?

America's "friends"? They are the nations that we sold out and continue to sell out for nearly 8 years now. 
Never has it been so easy to be an enemy of the US, and so dangerous to be an ally.
