35. The reason isn't really all that strange...

... Trump's been in Russia's pocket for decades. The FSB, formerly the KGB, saw an opportunity in this sleaze bag real estate grifter, and groomed him with the promise of real estate deals with oligarchs, and arranging loans when American banks wouldn't give him a dime because they couldn't trust him any further than they could throw a garbage truck.
Putin's been pulling his strings for a LONG time. He's been Russia's Manchurian Candidate for years.
The sooner he's buried in a sand trap on an abandoned public golf course, the better off the world will be.
But your sarcasm is duly noted.
