17. Doesn't the president have the authority to make a deal with another country like this?

So on the surface it could be presented as normal, secret dealings.

The crux is, what is the reason he agreed to this?
Was it done in America's best interest or in his own personal interest?
What does Putin offer America in return?

Of course we know the answer, partially.
It is not done in America's interest and probably to America's detriment.
Just what Trump personally receives from this kind of transaction is still unknown.

Why is he such a Toady to Putin? What does Putin have over him?
I've heard that he could be in debt to Russians but that doesn't seem to be enough to
cause him to act in such a drastic way.

There must be something going on behind the curtain that is much bigger than anything
reported up to now.
