*destabilizes relations with allies and antagonizes longtime trading partners*
*has a sit down with Russia to normalize relations*

But why does Putin still waste time putting on a show? Isn't there something more fun Putin could be doing? Trump is fully protected from losing power. At least 90% of the people who could stop Trump know what's going on and support it. They are all benefitting, themselves. And are as vested in having a sham election in the future as Trump is.

Because Putin controls Trump by letting Trump think he's in charge.

The same reasons he pretends it isn't suspicious that so many Russian dissenters fall out of windows onto a pile of bullets all standing on end after mysteriously being poisoned with polonium.

Why does Putin even pretend Trump is making decisions?

Let me get that cushion for your knees Donald. Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself before Putin finishes on your face.
