An American "Putin"

-If you're looking for someone in the intelligence service becoming the president, then it's George H. W. Bush, just tweak him a bit...
-If you're looking for a really fit and charismatic person becoming the president and establish a cult of personality, then have a big Hollywood star (so not Reagan, no offense) somehow moving into politics...
 
Mmmm Secret Service, dirty tricks, covered operations, hit men, right wing politics and great support from military-industrial complex and arms lobbies/oligarchs?
What about Colonel Oliver North?
 
Which US-politician could have been some sort of a "Putin-esque" President?

What do you exactly mean with Putin-esque US president? Someone from CIA? Well, then it would be George H.W. Bush. Someone nationalist and authotarian? Perhaps not to need say anything. Someone just powerhungry and expansionist? Hard to say.
