The difference I would note is that both men are narcissistic kleptocrats, Putin has a firm albeit slanted view of Russian history, and places himself as a messianic figure in that story.
Trump, however, hasn't the least understanding or interest in any history other than that of his bank account. Remember his many embarrassing tales of ridiculous things like airports during the American Revolution, or indications he thought Frederick Douglass was still alive...the list goes on.
Yes, both men are scheming megalomaniacs willing to tell endless lies. But Putin is immensely more sophisticated than his orange hued puppet. History will determine which is more dangerous to humanity.
