The rest of the paragraph makes it clear the writer is speaking from how donald’s advisor (and sycophants) see it. ie:
the best result he could expect.
Not ‘only valid’, not ‘we’. It is not absolute proof, but, if you consider yourself a rational arguer then it is your duty to interpret statements in the best light possible.

The rest of the paragraph?
Replace the word “won” with “got what he wanted from”

So if I change what was literally said, it means something else. Yes, that’s usually the case.

What is your definition of won? Because that’s what it means.

My definition of it being “quite clear” that he “won” in this case is that everyone agrees. We do not all agree.
