I don't think it is. I don't see submission there, or fear. What I see is admiration. Trump is too stupid to fear Putin the way he should. He admires Putin for the strongman that he is, envies his absolute power, envies his wealth, and is thrilled to think that he's Putin's bro.

That he's a useful idiot. I think he believes that Putin actually admires and likes him and he's proud of it. One of these days, I hope he sees what kind of "friends" the Russians really are.

It looks so out of place.
I do not doubt that is how he felt, it’s that the image looks surreal

and Putin rubs his belly. It's so cute.

His handlers are still working with him to get him to stop humping Putin's leg, though.
