The proper question for Americans is what has Trump done since he announced his candidacy to prove without a shadow of a doubt that he is not in a compromised position due to personal or family financial ties or scandal involving Putin and Russian oligarch's connections around the world.
As a Republican candidate there was no political incentive to express admiration for Putin as a strong leader in such positive ways.
So why does he do it?
Donald Trump’s Admiration of Putin’s Ruthless Use of Power
Putin may be having buyers remorse because Trump's Russia troubles along with strong Republican opposition to close Russian/US ties will limit Putin's desire for lifted sanctions and US recognition of Crimea being re-united with Russia.
So Putin is obviously doing nothing now but watching where the multiple investigations of Russian interference in the election goes.
When is the last time Trump expressed high praise for strong leader Putin?
What has Putin done since Jan 20 that makes you think he is playing Trump?

. So when Mr. Trump praises Mr. Putin, as he did last week, for his “very strong control over a country,” Republican political and policy experts explain it in purely personal terms: Mr. Trump admires the Russian leader’s ruthless use of power, even if it conflicts with American democratic principles.
