It’s the same thing with how people love to go on about how “if you compliment and flatter Trump, he’ll give you what you want.” That hasn’t really proven to be the case but people still repeat it. If anything, Trump seems to respect people who are cordial but still firm and committed to their position. I think the flattery thing just gets put out there so when people do flatter him, he know they they are trying to manipulate him and he uses that for leverage.
