I think it's probably more simple than that. Trump is jealous that Putin has his own country and he doesn't. In Trump's mind he's the best so he also needs to own an entire country just so he can outdo Putin.
He's probably working with putin to achieve this goal, and the details we can speculate about, but the motivation is likely that petty.
That's a possible motivation as well, but his unwillingness to say ever anything bad Putin tells me he's holding him with some kompromat.
I mean, Trump has never passed the opportunity to badmouth anyone else, with the exception of his crime family. Why is he making this exception also for Putin, going out of his way to always be on his good side and lick his boots?
There's got to be some pretty damaging information about him, that would be beyond his usual shady business dealings or just Russia plain helping his campaign - people already know these and it hasn't made a dent in his electability amongst his MAGA base. It's got to be something amazingly awful even for Trump's standards to keep him in line like that.
Absolutely. He's jealous that Putin can do whatever he wants and not get on trouble for it. No one is allowed to tell Putin he did anything wrong. Trump is a spoiled brat. "Putin can have people killed and not get in trouble, Waaahh! I Wana do that too!" That's as far as his thought process goes.
