No, I do not think that Putin was able to recruit Trump. Most likely, Putin helped Trump to win the election because they knew that he is very silly and using it the environment they will be easy to manage. The fact that a lot of people of his team are accused of having links with Russian you will not deny? Putin is not the most powerful man, but he may very well commit acts of sabotage.
I'm not sure what to feel about that, since Putin always has been developing high-class weapons and with america's resources they could create an even scarier one. I'm not from either country but I don't let myself socially unaware.
