Putin just knows Trump isn't the usual empty suit run by the deep state, he can manipulate the empty suits, he can't manipulate Trump in the way he has for 20+ years of former Presidents.

Jared Kushner manages portions of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.  I don't know why they like the Trump family, but they clearly do.

As for Russia, Trump is the main reason that aid to Ukraine is stalled.  Trump is publicly telling members of Congress to stall it.  Of course Russia prefers that.

If Americans were to vote on helping Ukraine it would be an overwhelming no.

We shouldn't be involved in former soviet states.. and we damn sure shouldn't have orchestrated the coup in 2014.

Because normal Americans like myself are sick and tired of funding foreign wars while our people suffer here in this country.

To be fair though, those billions are going to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, etc. 

Javelin missiles cost about 240k each and we have sent them 6,000 or so so far. The US taxpayer is paying US companies to fight a losing proxy war... all the while Russians and Chinese study our weapons in actual battle situations.
