Putin had several agents work with Trump's campaign to help him win the 2016 elections...and back in the days when the Trump family business was in deep trouble and couldn't get a self respecting bank to give him a loan, Russia came to the
rescue. It's my take that DJT was not going to bite the hand that fed him...especially one that could do to him and his family what it did the Navalny.
Seems off=putting to me to have our President so tied to our worst enemy...how about you?
