So ending up with a parliament that is made up of probably a minimum of three parties, which will result in fairly boring, moderate policies most of the time, headed by someone who's made it crystal clear a Trump led USA is the opposite of what he wants and who has pledged full backing for Ukraine.....is a Trump win...?

I mean, no its not great AfD picked up so much of the polling but not even Trump can realistically claim this as a victory.

Parliament seats are assigned proportionally, not according to the party with the most votes in a district. https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/germany/#results

Five parties are represented: conservative center right CDU, hard right AfD, social democrat center left SPD, center left Greens, radical left Linke.

Trump can realistically claim this as a victory

Trump will always claim victory regardless of facts.
