Political psychologist Olena Vostrova stated this on Espreso TV.“Half-jokingly, one can say that he has been recruited by Putin. No, Trump is not an agent of the KGB, FSB, or anything else in Russia, no. Trump is simply an object of Russia’s reflexive control. That is, they know how he will react to certain things, and they calculate it, they calculate him just like a system, like an automaton,” she explained.Vostrova added that in this way Putin manipulates him.“He gives him compliments, presents him with suitable gifts. Even the compliment to his wife was calculated to hit Trump at his vulnerable spot. Because afterwards Trump runs around with these compliments, telling everyone what Putin said to him. And Trump is dependent on Putin in this regard, he needs to hear Putin’s approval. This is his narcissistic nature, and it is his weak point that Putin constantly presses on and, unfortunately, succeeds,” the political psychologist concluded.
