Media is running a mock attacking Trump to milk the ratings, and all things considered Trump didn't do too bad at the conference (although I admit not great either). He could have been more aggressive when it came to anti-semitic remarks.

- Trump's conferences are mostly about himself and his achievements, while Putin's conferences are about Russian glory and what he sees as Western hypocrisy. Trump plays a showman; Putin plays an autocratic dictator.
- Trump usually goes on the offensive against his political opponents, accusing them of all sins. Putin takes a defensive stance instead and reflects the criticism with whataboutist arguments.
- From what I can see, Trump's conferences mostly are very representative, and journalists of all leanings and from all backgrounds tend to be present. The journalists on Putin's conferences are carefully nitpicked, unless he is forced to give a press-conference outside of Russia and its close allies.
- Trump mostly speaks on his own, without any assisting materials. Putin usually reads what his assistants wrote for him - albeit he is skillful enough to be able to make a smooth narrative on his own, when he really wants to.
- Trump's conferences are pretty open, with relatively minor security and with near-free access for everyone (who registered with a few clicks on the Internet). When Putin gives a conference, usually everything in the radius of 100 m of the building is blocked (if outside Russia), or everything in the radius of 1 km is blocked (if in Russia).
Trump is a strongman wannabe with poor oratory skills, who nonetheless can speak for himself. Putin is a real, actual dictator with excellent oratory skills, who constantly deflects and never addresses the actual question if it is inconvenient.  Considerate: 75%
