I do think that Putin put on a display of body language manipulation at the G20 that has to be admired. Sure, his head down fake humility and gratefulness to Trump for whatever attention Trump would bestow on him were contrived, but they sure did the trick. Some of us see Putin as a creepy murderous con man, but Trump seems to see him as a truly decent human being. 
The Russians have Trump profiled down to his shorts.
