The best way to get a Trump type to do what you want is to inflate their ego and then tell they can't actually do the thing you want them to do. If you can setup them correcting you for something stupid at this point - your like half there already.
If words alone don't get them dancing to the exact tune you intended - throw a few momentary glances of pity at them, make certain they clearly see you but in the same second look away - like you are tying to hide that you pity them and you pity them so much, you just cant help but "see them that way" - apologize profusely - say things like, "I'm sure when you were younger" and "you have to be realistic" - "Can't have your hand in everything" - etc.
When they agree just go off about how much they don't have to do the thing, they dont owe you anything and have proven themselves already and dont need to again, blah, blah, blah (they soak this part up, so drag out the praise) on their way out - tell them how ashamed you are for being so incapable compared to them, tell them how much of an inspiration they are to you and how glad you are to know them, bc really - only they can save you.
999 times out a 1000 - the above bs will work like a charm.
I dont actually think DJT would be the above "hard" to manipulate - Bibi likely made several passing comments and then outright begged him - which I think literally happened bc Trump said he "practically had to beg Israel to help" - so I'm pretty sure thats exactly what happened reversely. It was likely very theatrical.
This war is Bibis wet dream fantasy made real by a narcissist with an immense amount of actual power. Nobody would have to beg him, he has been begging for this since the 90s.
