I'm pretty sure a guy who multiple sources (including ex-wife) confirmed that he kept a collection of speeches by a certain fascist in his bedroom is aware at least a little of some polish history.
The stuff that trump publicly says has about the same connection to his actual intentions as much as that guy.. while Russia wants to be the biggest and essentially only supplier of energy to Europe, Trump's team is making plans to keep Assad in power so through him Putin's buddies can control where the output of the pipelines through Syria go. 
I also doubt trump is an opponent of excessive police control, as long as they work for only him.
