To paraphrase Machiavelli, if no one can tell you the truth, you are never safe from flattery. I don’t think that’s ever been more relevant than with Donald Daffodil. You tell him he’s a super genius who’s just won the biggest and most beautiful deal ever, and he’ll happily be distracted by the next thing.
And luckily for the EU, the current administration is so filled with incompetents, that it’s genuinely mitigating much of the damage they would otherwise have caused.
