Explanation: Mussolini was actually not a fan of Hitler, though the reverse was not true - Hitler admired Mussolini. Didn't stop Mussolini from becoming Hitler's bitch, though, because fascists have no principles.

Yep! Main goal for them is to acquire as much power as possible. That is the one and only thing that matters.
Imagine being called an idiot by a human-clown hybrid.
To keep a regime built on strength running, you need to be strong or project strength. Doesn't matter if its fascism or communism or to some degree even a democracy. Mussolini was sour Hitler did everything he did, but better and with more resources. Hitler just considered him his prototype who paved the way for him. Mussolini had no choice but to become "Hitler's bitch" since he already burned all bridges with everyone else due to Ethiopia. It got so bad in the end that Mussolini was happy when he was arrested and imprisoned, and horrified when Hitler freed him and put him back in power. He was long since over that life at that point.
Trump admires and loves Putin and Putin thinks he’s an idiot
