simpler theory

Trump is a narcissist and not that smart, so I think he largely just wants to be like other powerful people.

It's almost guaranteed that Putin has material for blackmail on pretty much every world leader, if it exists, because Russia's intelligence operations are top notch. I'm guessing he holds his cards close.

I'm guessing Trump and Putin have a history as well, it's just not clear what exactly that history is.
