Hope is a good thing.

But your scenario is low probability at this point.

Trump is not dirt stupid.
Yes he is not an educated nor intellectually curious person.
But he has an animal cunning and street smarts.
He is a vicious ruthless psychopath.

There is zero reason for Putin to come after Trump.
Trump is delivering all of his promises for Putin.
