LOL. Putin isn't going to be satisfied with treating Trump like an equal, because he almost certainly sees him as a useful stooge, not an equal, and I doubt that he fears Trump at all. Putin has been pushing to enlarge Russia's sphere of influence for years, mainly by rebuilding the old Soviet Empire as much as possible (hence the attack on Ukraine), and by undermining Western democracies via internet troll farms and playing up the political, cultural, and ethnic divisions within various nations that are major rivals of the Russians. And while his success in reassembling the old Soviet Union has been mixed at best thus far, he's been far more successful in the second goal, imo. But I certainly doubt he's going to treat Trump as anything other than the easily manipulated clown and stooge he no doubt privately thinks he is.
