I love how you're trying to spin Trump's totally clusterfuck of a war, into proof positive that Trump is a genius who outsmarted everyone. Trump doesn't have the ability to play chess, and usually just kicks over the board when he plays.
Chess players have to have a well thought out plan and a strategy to win. Trump has neither. He just tries to bully everyone into doing what he wants. Sometimes it works, but any time anyone stands up to Trump, he collapses like a house of cards.
Trump brags that he never prepares. He just goes with his gut instincts,, which he says are really great and the proof is, he's rich. Trump is rich because he was born rich and he's a crook. His "gut instincts" have lead to 7 major business bankruptcies, and hundreds of business failures.
Trump has lost more money than anyone in world history. His bloated, fat gut has been wrong about everything.
