Trump loves Putin because he said nice things about him. A President Trump will continue to try to curry favor with Russia, for among other reasons, as payment for services rendered and stand clear while Putin re-establishes the Russian Empire. This is the reason for Putin's rapprochement with Erdogan, the reassertion of the Russian/Ottoman axis that formerly controlled Eastern Europe, Western and Central Asia and much of the Middle East. The New Great Game..
Meanwhile, Trump will damage the US diplomatically and politically in ways that Bush/Cheney could only have dreamed of. He will fracture our society as badly as or worse than the Civil War ever did.
A weakened and demoralized US is in Putin's interest. Again, why wouldn't he want this?
