Trump represented a useful idiot to Putin.
Before the handwriting was on the wall, Putin saw that TFG was going to lose. That is why the prisoner exchanged happened. Otherwise, negotiations would have continued until Putin was sure TFG was not going to be re-elected because he knows he has enough dirt on TFG that all he had to do is ask for the prisoners and they would have been on the next plane...without releasing any of his own.
