As soon as it was over, my dad said: "Either Trump is the most clueless, delusional politician that ever lived, or Putin truly does have him by the short and curlies".
Now, I don't know if those are the only two options, but damn...it's getting harder to think of another one that makes much sense when you look at his actions with Putin and Russia.
I heard some folks talking about this a little, recently. One of the theories is that Trump just doesn't want to run any risk of seeming like he didn't win on his own accord. But these folks brought up a good point in that Trump has been more friendly to Putin pre-2016. He has been friendly with Putin in other realms.
There might be another explanation, but I don't know what it would be.
