None of that makes a difference. I don't like to draw hyperbolic comparisons, but Hitler won by a landslide, so did Mussolini, and Pol Pot, and most of the men that knew what people wanted, could read and exploit their weaknesses, and wreaked havoc on the 20th Century. Trump is a menace.

And rest assured he does not play chess. Putin plays chess. Trump does not have the temperament for the finesse and subtlety of chess. If you played chess you would know this.
