The purpose here is to:

A - Give the idea that his power extends to controlling the US President.
B - Create doubt of the legitimacy of the Presidency.

Trump is either too stupid or careless to care. He’s being used as a continuous fire bomb in Russia’s war against the US. I seriously doubt his advisers haven’t warned him against what Putin is doing. That’s the sad part.
