Trump has gotten close to Putin, but he doesn't trust him. Because if he trusted Putin, he would have no problem giving Zelensky guarantees that Russia wouldn't attack again. So, Trump talks very nicely about Putin, it's clear that he wants that friendship, but he still doesn't trust him.
How to explain that? There are several possibilities:
1. Trump likes Putin because they are similar
They have the same character and worldview. Or at least that's what Trump thinks. He sees in Putin a strong national leader with unlimited power. That's what Trump would like to be. He admires him the way Hitler initially admired Mussolini. It's little known that Hitler was a fan of Mussolini, and he didn't give him even two percent. So does Trump. He wants Putin's respect just as he respects Putin. It's actually more than respect, it's admiration.
That's why he doesn't trust him because he sees himself in Putin and thinks to himself "I wouldn't take my word for it".
2. The second possibility is that Russia is a nuclear and military power that he will need in a potential conflict with China. Europe would be an unnecessary, useless ally in that case. Russia would be very useful.
3. The third option is trade. Russia has a lot of natural resources that Americans could use. American companies could get rich there. And Trump suffers from resources and things like that.
In any case, it is clear that Trump sees a bigger friend in Putin than in any European leader. I can even understand him in that because these woke idiots in Europe are only useful for virtue signaling on social media and are very irritating. And he plans a future with Russia more than with other countries.
Putin must see the potential in this. Russia would get rich and develop through closer trade cooperation with the US, just as China managed to do in the period from 1999 to 2010. The only question is whether he will be honest enough with Trump, not to let him down. Because if you let a man like Trump down and if you break his heart, it can have catastrophic consequences.
