Lack of respect for trump, or he's assering dominance and showing the world he has some control over trump? Probably both.

MODERATORS
No "probably" about it. It's deliberate public humiliation, to show the entire world who's boss. Think America is the most powerful nation on Earth? Putin is demonstrating that America will defer to him.
"More fake news. Putin and I have a tremendous relationship. Probably the best ever between our countries.... He wasn't laughing at me; he was laughing at crooked Joe. The call was perfect, absolutely perfect. We discussed many important things, including hockey and Ukraine, and we're making great progress. But the dishonest media won't tell you that. They're all a scam. Don't forget to pick up a new Trump Bible for only $49.99 on the Whitehouse website. Tremendous quality."

Trump claimed a 'partial ceasefire' had been achieved...
... and an hour after the call ended, 40 Russian drones had attacked a hospital and power substation in Ukraine.
Bigly huge good negotiating Mr. President, the best, many people are saying, the best negotiating the world has ever seen.
But what is Vance’s position on this presumed disrespect? If Vance thinks it’s okay, then I’m sure it was all just a big mistake.
I mean, did they even thank Putin?
Also, it is of paramount importance to know whether or not Putin was wearing a suit during the phone call.
Probably his birthday suit.
This is common for Putin. Earlier this month, this happened:
[Steve] Witkoff, a former property mogul who has become Donald Trump's chief negotiator, and is often referred to as the president's 'fixer', had been dispatched to Moscow to deliver the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire to Vladimir Putin.
His visit had been scheduled near the start of the week, following the US-Ukraine talks in Saudi Arabia.
But after arriving around lunchtime on Thursday, he was left twiddling his thumbs for at least eight hours before being called into the Kremlin.
Putin does this to everyone, but he seems to particularly relish doing it to Agent Krasnov.
The call was said to be 1.5hrs though. That means bitch boy sat there waiting for longer than the time he actually spoke?
The way these things normally work is that a staffer makes the call and holds for the President. When all parties are ready, then the phone is passed onto him.
Then again, this is more of a one-on-one with your manager so probably had to stay on the call. Probably multitasked though.
Who respects Trump? Im with Putin on this one.
Orange man should be in jail long ago. So should Putin, but hey.
Putin used him.
Putin is almost always late. An hour is not that bad compared to what lower ranking politicians put up with. It's power play. Considered to be immature by most adults (because it is).
He's just showing dominnace over Trump and the only thing that trump manages to do is to give him whatever he wants.
There’s a big argument from people who speak Russian about the nuance of this moment and whether Putin was dismissing the moderator. I’m choosing not to jump on this as any sort of hopeful wedge between Trump and Putin. Feels to easy to be misconstrued.
