Again, it’s a transactional relationship for Trump,
It’s more like a close friendship for him.

Trump and Putin will act in concert if their goals align so they can both personally benefit. They’re both egotistical monsters though who are entirely about themselves and their legacy first and foremost. You’re absolutely reaching by saying they’re close friends or allies, the proof is in the pudding, Trump could have completely pulled out of Ukraine but he hasn’t yet. Why do you think that is?

He has a history of stuffing his cabinet with them too:

I already said, it would piss off the rest of his administration. He has to change them slowly. Take over DC so that if the anti-Russia components revolt, it won’t matter, for example. Arm DC soldiers. You see where this is going.
