Trump got steamrolled because he is an incompetent fanboy of Putin who barely has the attention span required to play checkers let alone chess. He wasn't there to negotiate. He was there to receive his marching orders from his boss.

Like many populist leaders, Trump accuses judges of being illegitimate obstacles to safety and democracy
