If said dictator is stupid enough not to bribe Trump first — with compliments or otherwise.

It's like y'all don't know what Trump is about. He's narcissistic. People like that don't care about anything other than their image of themselves in their heads. If someone flatters them, they perceive that person or entity as "the real stuff", and those who don't (or even blame the narcissist) — as fallacious.

Like a god damn candy: one lick, and you're in for a treat.
