I have done this several times and never had a problem.

Trump’s behavior is so bizarre, so unhinged, and so counter to his short-term interests that the most likely explanation for his actions is that Trump either believes or knows that he is mentioned in the Epstein files in ways that are even more damaging than the blowback he is getting for not releasing the files."

Yes, this is absolutely possible. It's routine for me, even.

Yes, if the keyboard uses the AT protocol, which is the same as the PS/2 protocol.

The XT protocol, however, uses the same large DIN connector.
