Once, you actually had to do something influential to be an influencer. Invent calculus or write Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Thinking "I'll become an influencer, and THEN I'll decide what kind of influence I exert" is madness.
It's as if 'sycophant', 'lickspittle', and 'asskisser' were actual job titles.

The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

His point is simply this:
Putin doesn't really fear that NATO is going to threaten or invade Russia.
He knows NATO will BLOCK Russia from threatening and invading Europe.
If NATO had let Ukraine join before 2014 there would be no war there.
Appeasement never works.

There really is no doubt that Trump has been an asset for Putin for decades. We can wonder whether there's a formal arrangement or just voluntary participation on Trump's part, but the fact that he's a Russian assent can't be credibly denied.
