Of course he owns trump! That was reinforced the moment they came out of their meeting in Helsinki. Being a malignant narcissist (among other issues he has), he always appears self-confident, assured, and can look you straight in the eye while telling you that the sun is black (which many of his followers would believe).

Severe narcissists are actually, totally, unable to form an empathetic bond with another human being, even including family. They see people simply as objects, to be used to their advantage. If the object is no longer useful it is either discarded like yesterday's trash or simply ignored. If it disagrees with him, it is savagely denigrated (but rarely to their face, except in trump's case if it's a woman)!
He was raised by cold and distant parents, whom I doubt ever told him they loved him, and his father was the same, as was his grandfather.
IIRC, Donnie even got his dad to take one son, Fred, out of his will, and dad was upset because Fred didn't go into the family business, which is conning gullible people, so Fred flew planes for a living, and became an alcoholic because of how his own father and brother treated him, and died at a relatively young age.
Back to the original question; when trump came out of his meeting with his boss, at Helsinki, he was a hunched over, totally defeated man, while Putin stood straight up, smiling! That image is seared in my brain, and tells me all I need to know about the Russians having something on him. He has known connections to many Russian oligarchs, going back to the 80s, when he was trying to build a hotel/casino in Russia. When he spoke after the meeting, he was very quiet and very deferential to his boss, making sure it was known that he has "no reason to doubt Mr. Putin."
His job orders at that point were to destroy the U S, OR ELSE!
