That all depends on Trump. Putin made no bones about his hatred for Obama and his even deeper hatred for Hillary. At least he is waiting to see what Trump will do before he forms an opinion. Yes, you are correct, Putin is infinitely smarter than Trump, but if you bother to check out his recent press conferences, you'll get an even deeper insight into his mindset. Essentially he's sick to death of the "my dick's bigger than your dick" attitude, and even more sick and tired of being seen as a "threat" every time he responds to America increasing its military capacity.
