The New York Times broke a story that President Trump was trying so hard to keep the contents of his private meetings with Russian Premiere Putin secret that he confiscated the interpreter's notes. Why, people ask, would he do that if it was an innocent meeting?
Quick answer: because the WaPo already printed transcripts of his first to calls to foreign heads of state and he didn't trust people not to leak his meeting with Putin.
A President must be able to have frank conversations with foreign leaders without the contents printed and examined by every would-be pundit.
You don't need any further reason than that.
If Trump was actually Putin's puppet then he'd be a lot more pro-Iran (Russia ally) and a lot less pro-Israel and pro-Saudi (Russian opponents) and he'd have refused to give the Ukraine lethal weapons to combat Russian incursions instead of arming them.
